Fran Schmidt

About Me




Fran is a daughter, sister, writer, singer, seeker, pastor
and spiritual director. She is the priest at Emmanuel Anglican Church & the
Arts and Spiritual Centre, the Refinery, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Recently,
Fran is a graduate from the Haden Institute with both her Spiritual Director
certification (January 2023) and Dream Work Facilitation (May 2025). Her deep
interest is in the area of Jungian psycho-spirituality and helping others to
connect with their soul space.

 A speaker and retreat leader as well, Fran operates Pilgrims
on Purpose, a small business that offers Sacred Journeys and spiritual
wellness.

 We are on a pilgrimage in this life, seeking self-knowing,
growing in self-awareness, seeking the wisdom of the Divine. Whether that
seeking takes you on a pilgrimage to another country or to the journey inward,
to embrace soul,  you are a pilgrim on a
journey. We invite you at Pilgrims on Purpose into that journey in a new way:
to seek the heart of the heart of who you truly are. On this path of discovery,
you may wish to experience the parallel journey by traveling to another
country, or you may wish to work with a Spiritual Director or Dream Work
Facilitator, or you may wish to take part in a spiritual retreat or workshop .
We offer all of these experiences to those who are curious, open, and wish to
go deeper.



 



We work with those of Christian faith, interfaith, or no
faith. Our primary values of inclusion and diversity means we work with all
people, including those who identify as part of the 2SLGTBQIA+ community.
