Learn how to strengthen your
relationship with God and your
union with others.
Mary Mooney Burns joins Father Don to talk about Ignatian Conversation and how it can guide healthy discussions, debates, dialogue, disagreements, and discernment. Saint Ignatius of Loyola, in the 16th Century, was called upon by the pope to help the Catholic Church recover from the Protestant Reformation during the Council of Trent; he sent representatives to present guidelines for conversation to help ecclesial leaders move from impasses to paths of progress and growth. These guides are still used today. Mary’s experience in Ignatian dialogue will help families, coworkers, and friends have more wholesome and meaningful exchanges around tables of fellowship.
Stay tuned; more episodes will be available soon.

Welcome to the Farnan Spirituality Center (FSC) website! “Welcome” means to come and be made well. It is my hope that you will be made well—or that your life is enhanced—by a closer walk with the Good Lord. Spiritual encounters, from group retreats or discussions to one-on-one counsel or direction, are good ways to strengthen our relationship with God and, subsequently, with others.
I invite you to peruse the website and indicate your interest, sign up for the monthly newsletter, or sign up for an upcoming retreat. And let us pray for one another.
"In the end, these things are only required: that you act justly, that you love tenderly, and that you walk humbly with the Lord."
— The Prophet Micah
"We are like travelers who have forgotten
the name of our destination. We must return from where we came to discover where
we are going."
— G. K. Chesterton
"I truly appreciate the use of musical references and other writings which you often use. I have been blessed to have attended small dinners and discussions where you have often used these same references to engage attendees. It always has left me with soul searching and a path to answering some very deep questions. Thank you for providing some more stepping stones."
- Helen V.
“Thank you, Father Don! Your good words help so many, and I love forwarding your encouraging message.”
- Peggy B
"Thank you for helping us see the connections rather than the differences in many faith traditions."
- Mary Jo C.
