Louise & Joe Colletti

For more than twenty years, Louise Colletti, MA & Joe Colletti, M.Ed., S.T.M., MDiv., have been presenting public programs and offering in-depth training for those who companion others who are experiencing loss and grief. Based on her experience as Program Director at Mary’s Place, Center for Grieving Children and Families, Louise brings key insights to the art of companioning grievers. She and Joe have co-presented in the graduate Chaplaincy program at Hartford International University, and they have offered in-service programs on grief and loss for spiritual directors. Together, they wrote a guidebook: Leaving a Spiritual Legacy: Writing a Spiritual Will, and Joe has published From the Heart: A Father’s Journey of Grief.  Both Louise and Joe have been spiritual directors for many years and teach from their own experience of the death of their daughter, Monique.
