Welcome to the Farnan Spirituality Center (FSC) website! “Welcome” means to come and be made well. It is my hope that you will be made well—or that your life is enhanced—by a closer walk with the Good Lord. Spiritual encounters, from group retreats or discussions to one-on-one counsel or direction, are good ways to strengthen our relationship with God and, subsequently, with others.
I invite you to peruse the website and indicate your interest, sign up for the monthly newsletter, or sign up for an upcoming retreat. And let us pray for one another.
"In the end, these things are only required: that you act justly, that you love tenderly, and that you walk humbly with the Lord."
— The Prophet Micah
From the late 1940s till her death fifty years later, Mother Teresa of Calcutta inspired people all around the globe to take part in making their area of the earth a better place. Responding to Jesus’ call for her to go into the darkest holes of the poor and act in faith to bring them to the Lord and bring Christ to them, she dedicated her life to the corporal works of mercy: feed the hungry, clothe the naked, nurse the dying, bury the dead… She referred to Calcutta as the City of God and her ministry attracted pilgrims and travelers from all over the world. They went to see her, to witness the miracle of her calling and the fruits of her response, and to ask her how they could help. She responded by saying, “Find your own Calcutta.” Read the full post.
"We are like travelers who have forgotten
the name of our destination. We must return from where we came to discover where
we are going."
— G. K. Chesterton
"I truly appreciate the use of musical references and other writings which you often use. I have been blessed to have attended small dinners and discussions where you have often used these same references to engage attendees. It always has left me with soul searching and a path to answering some very deep questions. Thank you for providing some more stepping stones."
- Helen V.
“Thank you, Father Don! Your good words help so many, and I love forwarding your encouraging message.”

"Thank you for helping us see the connections rather than the differences in many faith traditions."
- Mary Jo C.
