What people say about Audire…

Audire challenges your preconceptions of what it means to listen, to be attentive, and to be present to those who seek a greater relationship with the Divine. I continue to be amazed at the spiritual transformation that one experiences through the Audire program and continue to extend the hand of spiritual friendship to those in need through spiritual direction, hospice, and hospital chaplaincy.

Audire es una invitación al encuentro con lo divino. Es una de esas citas de fin de semana que anhelas llegue rápido. Es en el descubrir y ejercitar ese llamado al diálogo espiritual, la atenta escucha y la indispensable vida en comunidad que Audire abre sus brazos en una bienvenida sonriente para quienes vamos por más. Si deseas ejercitar tu llamado y don a la Dirección Espiritual no dejaré de repetirte que tienes que venir a Audire. De seguro te darán la misma bienvenida, cuidarán y apreciarán la cultura y el trasfondo que traes y te entrenarán en el arte y llamado de la Dirección Espiritual. Así lo hicieron conmigo. Te repito, tienes que venir a Audire.

When I found the Audire program, I felt like I’d come home. Here I found a language and vocation for the way God created me to serve the world. I’m thankful for the seasoned, intentional, supportive training I received from the very capable faculty.
