Marywood Offers Spiritual Direction Via Skype

Marywood is using Skype (free computer video and voice calls with those using Skype) to assist persons looking for an alternative to traveling long distances and to care for earth. With Skype you can save long distance fees as well. When you wish to consult with a Marywood staff person, just Skype us.

If you register with Skype (a free service on the internet) and obtain a web cam (vary in price), you may wish to consider these new Marywood offerings via Skype online.

Spiritual Direction is available with Marywood's spiritual directors via Skype. • Video Calling using a web cam with your computer, or • Audio Calling using your phone.

Check our website regarding our usual on-site spiritual direction ministry. The online connection is free and private. We suggest the usual donation to help meet our staff time costs.

Our trained spiritual directors will assist you with the details. The spiritual directors are listed on our spiritual direction page.
