A Spirit Alive

About The Emblem

The Spirit Alive program is designed to assist the young woman in discovering how the Holy Spirit moves with her life, calling her to greater participation in ministry of the Church.

Each chapter has three sections: research, dialogue and activites. Exercises in the research section can be done alone or shared in a group. The requirements in the dialogue section are carried out with the help of a counsellor/advisor. The activities are designed to help the young woman apply what she has learned for her own personal growth. A journal, Bible anda copy of the documents of Vatican II are necessary. A counsellor guide is also available.
