Meet Gregory Vigliotta
Spiritual Director

A ministry rooted in the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius of Loyola and dedicated to helping others encounter Jesus Christ through prayer, discernment, spiritual direction and retreats. 

Gregory Vigliotta, Catholic Spiritual Director

Gregory T. Vigliotta

I am a husband and father of five children, with a strong background in Ignatian spirituality, faith formation, and education. After many years of work in campus and parish ministry and teaching Theology at both the college and high school levels, I discerned a call to homeschooling and accompanying others as they discern God's will.

 

My wife and I have embraced Catholic homeschooling and support other homeschooling families through family ministry, sharing our experiences and my background in spiritual formation. As a spiritual director, I accompany individuals through one-on-one pastoral care, as well as individual and group retreats. My ministry helps others become more aware of God’s presence in their daily lives in order to cultivate a deeper, more intimate relationship with Christ. In addition to direct ministry, I also serve as a consultant to other organizations that serve the Church and the broader public.
