Maureen Gerald

Spiritual Director

Maureen Gerald is a Spiritual Director at Princeton Theological Seminary; U.S. Congressional Interfaith Director representing New Jersey’s 12th district; and business owner of Momentum, Counseling, Coaching, & Consulting LLC. Her expertise in training and teaching personal and organizational growth solutions to multicultural communities has led her across the world. Her life’s work meets at the intersections of contemplative theology, mental wellness and justice work.

In 2010, Dateline NBC  featured her story as a survivor of the historically catastrophic Haiti earthquake. Surviving this life changing experience, catapulted her toward contemplative work as a healing source. She is a peer leader of the Center for Contemplative Leadership, newly nestling at Princeton Theological Seminary under the leadership of Dr. Bo Karen Lee. Maureen has received State Congressional commendations for her work nationally and abroad. Rev. Gerald’s academic background includes the College of St. Elizabeth, Columbia University, Princeton Theological Seminary and Oasis Ministries. Most importantly, Maureen can’t resist a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie. She also enjoys family gatherings with her husband Kevin, and their beautifully blended family of adult daughters who keep her grounded and grateful.
