Lay Spiritan and talented jewelry maker, Paula Nettleship recently had the opportunity to learn traditional beadwork from three Maasai women.

When people ask me how I became a Lay Spiritan, they are often surprised when, without hesitation, I reply it was because I read the Spiritan charism. My journey to our community started twenty years before I knew anything about the Spiritans.

St. Stephen Church in Hazelwood, PA might not have regular weekly Mass, but the Spirit is very much alive. There’s a thriving Spiritan mission in the Hazelwood community, connected with the work of other groups dedicated to helping the area thrive.
