Three-Night Ignatian Weekend Retreat

About Sarah Otto, M.Div., and Gail Henderson-Belsito

Sarah Otto, M.Div., is a Jesuit-trained retreat director and spiritual director who completed her Master of Divinity at Boston College. She studied theology as both an undergrad and graduate student. Her passion has focused on the intersection of faith and justice, which led her to study in El Salvador. Sarah spent a year in the Jesuit Volunteer Corps, serving men and women experiencing homelessness in Portland, Ore. Sarah has worked as a hospital and prison chaplain and most recently worked in college campus ministry for five years, both at Providence College and as director of a Newman Catholic Center in Chico, Calif. As a mom, Sarah is particularly passionate about ministering to women and families but continues to enjoy helping people discern how to live a faith that does justice, as well as discovering the unique and creative ways God works in everyone.

Gail Henderson-Belsito is an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church USA who fell in love with Ignatian spirituality long before she went to seminary. Through teaching, preaching, keynote speaking, and leading workshops in various settings, Gail seeks to help all of God’s children recognize and celebrate their belovedness in God’s eyes. She longs for all people to explore, ponder, and appreciate how God is speaking to them, not only through Scripture and the world around them, but also through their own life stories.
