ABOUT
Shadow Wings
Shadow Wings is a contemplative Christian refuge for those seeking a sustained and counter-cultural commitment to the interior life. Taking its name from the Celtic 'church dove,' the Society fosters spiritual intimacy with the Divine and one another under the loving shadow of God's wings. Through the teachings of Father Vincent Pizzuto Ph.D., we seek to awaken to our deepest identity as members of Christ's Body and partakers of the Divine Nature.
