About

Our desire with Spirit of Life  is to offer a community where everyone knows that they are truly welcome... "a place at the table" for everyone.

At Spirit of Life, we are doing our very small part to improve the situation of those in need around our world.  Presently we assist with the crisis of AIDS in Africa by designating The African Dream Center, which cares for children orphaned by HIV/AIDS, as recipient of our donation of 15% of our contributions during this Easter Season.

Rev. Jean Marchant, M.Div., D.Min., is a wife, mother and grandmother whose ministry over the past  25 years has encompassed  hospice and hospital chaplaincy, pastoral counseling, marriage and family therapy and spiritual direction.

She has ministered to people navigating a myriad of life challenges and transitions across the spectrum of life.  It has been her gift to accompany people living and dying with AIDS, grieving children, adults facing issues of spiritual and emotional health, and those living with life threatening illness or grieving the death of a loved one.  As an ordained Catholic priest in the Roman Catholic Womanpriest Community, her ministry of pastoral care and counseling is now enriched by her sacramental ministry. Jean has a passion for justice and for empowering women and men in their search for wholeness and holy-ness in their lives.
