Melinda Laird
Biography
I often find myself feeling very humbled that God would choose me to participate in this beautiful ministry of spiritual direction. I feel called to this ministry, to assist others in a deeper understanding of where God is inviting them to draw nearer and understand more fully the love and grace of God in their lives.
I am a lifelong Catholic and over the years have been involved in several ministries in my parish, St Mary Basilica, Natchez, MS, most recently leading workshops centered on contemplative prayer methods and retreats. I serve on the board of ignatianministries.org, a home of accompaniment for all who want to go deeper in their walk with God. My husband and I have two adult daughters, and I also teach full time at our local community college teaching business, marketing and public speaking courses.
