Inspired by the important role Ananias played in St. Paul's journey to Christ, our Ananias Training will help parishes, homes, and apostolates become places where we can:

• recognize the stages of another's spiritual journey through compassionate listening.
• listen lovingly to their real questions and opinions about God in order to guide the discovery of how God is present and active in a person's life.
• talk about our relationship with God.
• share how we came to be a disciple of Jesus.
• share Jesus' own story in response to the spiritual hunger of another.

Ananias Training is a 17-hour process structured in five sessions, designed to form parishioners with no previous training in "the art of spiritual accompaniment." The training will use Scripture reflections, video, and facilitated discussions to form "Ananiases."

The goal of Ananias Training is to form a people equipped to be Ananias to one another within the Church as well as to those in the world, within the context of one's own charisms and personal vocation.
