Heart of Life April 2025

Director’s Message

Heart of Life was blessed by the presence of Bishop Joseph and his Chancellor, Fr Thy, of the Phu Cuong Diocese in Vietnam with two local friends. Pre-COVID-19, one of Bishop Joseph’s priests participated in the Siloam Spiritual Directors program, and next year, he intends to send another (visa permitting). These close international connections continue to grow.

On the same day, we welcomed two leaders from a nearby Christian Church and had warm conversations about how Heart of Life can assist in the formation, training and support of their ministers. The leaders showed a mature understanding, deep care for their ministers, and the need for quality pastoral formation.

The two-week break is soon upon us. I take this chance to remind you and your loved ones of the reflection events that are coming up, including Exploring Different Ways to PrayWalking the Land in Autumn, and a day on the Enneagram. More information is also below.

And on a lighter note:

Three things I enjoy are eating my cats and not using commas.

May Easter celebrations enable the experience of Christ’s presence to be in who you are, and your relationships.

You’re invited to celebrate the Feast of the Sacred Heart on Fri 6th June from 11am to 2pm.

Happy Easter.
