Cathy Olds has worked as a lay minister in the Catholic Church for 40 + years and as a spiritual direction for 21 years.  She has a Master of Arts in Theology and certificate in Spiritual Direction from the Arizona Ecumenical Institute for Spiritual Directors.  She believes that God meets us where we are and her role as a spiritual director is to listen for the presence of the Holy One in each person’s life.  Spiritual accompaniment is a relationship between two people seeking the Holy One together.  She has a love for Celtic spirituality and celebrates Franciscan and Marianist spirituality.

Kathy Perrin completed certification in spiritual direction in 2006 through the Emmaus Program at the Annunciation Monastery in Bismark, North Dakota.  Her rich background in the Benedictine tradition of prayer, hospitality, service, community, respect for person and moderation lends to her chosen focus on spiritual accompaniment with those who are at the end of life and for those who are grieving and mourning.  She embraces St. Benedict’s first words in his Book of Rules, “listen with the ear inclined to the heart.”  As a parishioner of St. Bridget Catholic Parish since 2017, she oversees the Spirituality Center and Gardens where spirituality is grown and nourished.  Kathy can be reached at willowroad1862@outlook.com.
