How does one come to know our life's vocation? This will be our focus for the evening's discussion. Determining our paths in life both professionally and personally is a life long process. Making insightful decisions about those choices can be challenging.

Please join us for an evening with Fr. Hederman as he discusses spiritual exercises and insights into discerning authentic vocation and career choices throughout our lives.

- In the first session, he will provide background on the Examen of Consciousness, an updated version of Ignatius' essential method of self-reflection and personal growth, the foundation for being a "contemplative in action."

In the second session, Fr. David introduced a form of prayer commonly known as Ignatian Contemplation, combining the use of scripture with the use of the imagination and the senses.
