Michelle Kelley, MA
​I am grateful for the opportunity to journey with you as you further your relationship with God. I am a campus minister, theology teacher, and certified spiritual director in the Catholic, Ignatian Tradition. I feel blessed to have been called to this ministry, and have journeyed with women & men of all ages in spiritual direction. I look forward to meeting you as you seek a relationship with our Good God.
Spiritual Director
Theology Teacher & Campus Minister
​
Background and Formation:
I am a spiritually grounded, faith-filled woman of God. I currently work in education at an all-girls Catholic high school, teaching church history and the New Testament Scriptures. I also serve in the Mission and Ministry Office, implementing servant leadership retreats and providing student formation. Most recently, I started utilizing my educational and ministerial experience as a Spiritual Director to provide discernment meetings for seniors to assist in their college decision process.
​
My previous work experience included creating Liturgies and prayer services, immersion experiences, retreats, daily prayer, and seasonal reflections for Advent and Lent. My hope for you is to be a listening ear to the promptings of the Holy Spirit in your life as you continue to build a deeper, loving relationship with God.
