Spiritual Storytelling

Spiritual Storytelling was an event held in the Spring of 2024, but we maintain this page for historical reference, knowing it may still be a valuable resources to our Bellarmine community.

Please see Engage for current programs for spiritual encounter and storytelling. 

If you are interested in sharing a story of your own - with an individual or larger audience, please reach out to us at campusministry@bellarmine.edu. We would love to hear from you!
