Spiritual Director
Monsignor Stephen C. Bosso
Monsignor Stephen C. Bosso is AIM's spiritual director, serving as speaker and homilist at AIM retreats and directing retreat discussions. He is a priest of the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee and a faculty member at St. Vincent de Paul Regional Seminary in Boynton Beach. He previously served as the seminary's rector and is a professor of Sacred Scriptures and Homiletics.
Msgr. Bosso, who has a doctorate in Homiletics, has been awarded the Marten Visiting Faculty Fellowship in Preaching at the University of Notre Dame for the Fall 2021 semester. The Marten Project promotes excellence in preaching and involves his being an instructor in Notre Dame's Masters of Divinity degree program. Msgr. Bosso will continue to speak at AIM's online retreats while at Notre Dame.
Msgr. Bosso has a special connection with the AIM ministry going back to the 1980s. Asked why he is so committed to the AIM ministry, Msgr. Bosso says, “When I was approached by the founders of the ministry and learned about the service it provides to individuals with disabilities and volunteers, I found a natural connection and I knew in my heart and soul that this was a ministry for me. It is a joy and honor to serve as AIM’s spiritual director.”
AIM also has guest priests who serve as spiritual directors at retreats when Msgr. Bosso is unavailable.
