Our Spiritual Directors

Our spiritual directors are trained listeners who begin the retreat by focusing attention on the person’s unique experience of God. Following the principles of the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius Loyola, they help retreatants to notice, savor and respond to the movements of God’s Spirit in their own life-experience and prayer. God is the real director of the retreat. Our spiritual directors help retreatants to be attentive to what God is doing in their lives in the hope of deepening that primary love relationship. Our resident directors are joined by guest directors who are dedicated to this ministry and are carefully chosen for their abilities to work thoughtfully and sensitively with retreatants. Our staff is also available on a limited basis for off-site retreats, workshops and training programs in a variety of settings.
William Campbell S.J. (Director)
He joined the staff in 2019 after two decades of educational administration at Nativity Preparatory School (Boston, MA), Nativity School of Worcester (Worcester, MA), Cheverus High School (Portland, ME) and the College of the Holy Cross (Worcester, MA). He holds degrees from the College of the Holy Cross (BA), St. Michael’s Institute Gonzaga University (Ph.L) and Weston Jesuit School of Theology (M.Div. and S.T.L.). He has also served on numerous boards and committees, including Loyola University Maryland, Jesuit Volunteer Corps East, the Catholic Schools Board for the Diocese of Worcester and the UEA Jesuit Province.
Randy Sachs, S.J. (Jesuit Community Superior)
He joined the staff in 2016 after 30 years of teaching systematic theology and spirituality at Weston Jesuit School of Theology in Cambridge and Boston College School of Theology and Ministry, where he was active in the formation of Jesuits and lay persons for ministry. He has been a retreat and spiritual director since 1976, the year he was ordained.

                                                              Spiritual Directors for 2022-2023
Note: We are often asked why our spiritual directors are listed without the corresponding retreat/s they will be working. Our spiritual directors offer themselves to EPRH based on their personal availability more than one-year in advance of a given retreat. Because their individual availability cannot be confirmed until shortly before the start of a given retreat and because substitute spiritual directors are often needed, we do not list their names by specific retreats.
