Chris Beckett, SCN

It has been, and remains, a special ministry to walk with women, men, teens, religious, ordained and lay persons of diverse faith traditions and cultures as a spiritual companion/director over the last 45 plus years.

I hold a MA degree from St. Louis University School of Divinity and Theology in 1976 and was certified as a spiritual director and retreat director in 1980. Since that time, I have had the privilege of, as stated above, companioning individuals on a one-on-one or group spiritual direction and as a retreat director. I am also a certified director for the 30-day Ignatian Exercises as well as the Ignatian 19^th Annotation Retreat.

We are, I believe, called at this time to walk with each other tenderly allowing our God to move us into the deeper meaning of love, community with each other and all creation. This walking together will, I believe, lead to the personal and communal sense of peace that our world now seeks and needs.

I have, after several years ministering in Maryland, returned to Louisville and am, once again, available for one-on-one spiritual or group spiritual direction as well retreat direction.
