Like the mustard seed, the Centre for Spiritual Growth started out as a small seed that was nurtured through the years, becoming a seedling. With the advent of its 20^th anniversary, the seedling has matured into a tree newly leafed.

The Centre for Spiritual Growth is committed to fostering a person’s awareness and growth in relationship with God in order to further the unfolding of God’s dream - a dream of a world rooted in joy, justice and love. It fosters this growth in an ongoing way through a variety of ministries:

Spiritual direction Formation of spiritual directors Retreats Reflective experiences and outreach The Centre for Spiritual Growth welcomes men and women who want to nurture their desire to grow. Founded in 1981, the Centre for Spiritual Growth was the vision of religious women, members of the Congregation of Notre Dame. Through the generous financial support of the Congregation of Notre Dame, and others who wish to support its vision and ministries, the Centre for Spiritual Growth serves the spiritual needs and desires of each pilgrim who crosses its threshold.

Tenth Anniversary Vision Statement

"This is what we proclaim to you What was from the beginning, What we have heard, What we have seen with our own eyes, What we have looked upon And our hands have touched - We speak of the word of Life" (1 Jn 1:1)   We have a story to tell: God-with-us!   We want to remember:   What we have seen and heard... recalling What we have touched... reconnecting Who we are... realizing Who we are to become... rebirthing

For, in telling our stories, we become our stories: God-with-us!   "What we have seen and heard We proclaim in turn to you So that you may share life with us... That our joy may be complete" (1 Jn 1:3-4)   We proclaim our Good News So that many more people may hear So that together, in both the telling and the hearing, We become God’s dream for us.     Centre for Spiritual Growth, Ottawa, 1981-1991
