My name is Christine O’Connor. I am a member of the Congregation of the Sisters of St Joseph Lochinvar. I was born in Sydney but I have spent most of my life around the Newcastle area. I gained a Certificate in Spiritual Direction from the Centre for Religious Development at North Sydney in 2002 and qualified as a Supervisor of Spiritual Directors in 2022. I have had directees in Newcastle from 2002 till 2008, then a number in the Kimberley region of Western Australia from 2009 till 2016. I now see a number of people at a Centre at Tighes Hill in Newcastle. Spiritual Direction has been a blessed time in my life, a time of growth and learning for myself as well as my directees!
