SUMMER INTERNSHIPS

Mercy Center is celebrating our 25th year of Summer Internships. These transformational programs attract people from throughout the world and create communities of prayer, learning, and discernment on our beautiful Burlingame campus.

Currently, we are in the process of discernment and redesign of all of our spiritual direction formation programs, including the Summer Internships. To allow time for this process, we will be rotating some of our core offerings.

In summer 2011, we will present internships in Group Direction and Retreat Direction. Information about Summer 2012 offerings will be available on our website in August 2011.

Summer 2011 Internships:

• Internship in the Art of Retreat Direction
• Internship in the Art of Group Spiritual Direction
