Spirituality newsletters
We have many opportunities to develop our sprituality at St Matthew's and further afield in the Diocese of Southwark.
Opportunities, events, resources and articles on prayer and spirituality are updated regularly by the Southwark Diocesan Spiritual Formation Group. To find out more, read 'Formed by the Spirit', a newsletter compiled by Chris Chapman.
We maintain a library of 'Formed by the Spirit' below. Click on the title of a newsletter. You will see the PDF in a reader for browsing. Enjoy the process of deepening your own awareness of spirituality. Even more, use the tools for prayer and join in some of the events, courses and opportunities that fit in with your own availability.
