| May God grant you your hearts desire....Ps 20:4 |
Heart of God was in the imagination of Sister Jean Kasparbauer, FSPA, Sister Marlou Ricke, FSPA, and
Fr. Timothy Corbley since 1982. They and other members envisioned a place where men and women could gather for prayer
and spiritual growth. In the early years, none of the members knew how the dream would take shape; however, over time,
God's Spirit continued to guide them.
Through prayer, reflection, and listening to intuitive hunches, they were faithful
to their call and vision. In July of 2003, the core members of Heart of God gathered and made
a commitment to put flesh on the dream and call of God in their hearts. Thus, Heart of
God found its first home in St. Louis, Missouri and in March 2004 moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado. In that same
year, members of Heart of God attained a not-for-profit status for Heart of God and moved to its present location.
Since then, Sister Jean and Sister Marlou have retired from full time
ministry. Fr. Timothy, Gene, Ellen, Lisa, Deb, Sharon and a committed group of volunteers continue the dynamic ministry
at Heart of God.
In 2008, Heart of God expanded its ministry by purchasing a house of prayer
in Cascade, Colorado. We expanded our ministry to include a house of prayer to provide spiritual direction, prayer groups,
spiritual direction groups and liturgies to persons who live closer to Colorado Springs. It is our hope and deepest desire
to continue to listen to the call of God and expand the opportunities and ministry at Heart of God.
