Nicole Kidman's Spiritual Journey

NICOLE Kidman's marriage to country singer Keith Urban this month will mark a new stage on her spiritual journey.


A close spiritual confidant, a Father Paul Coleman, says that Kidman's wedding preparations have helped deepen her Catholic faith.

"For Nicole, you know, this is a spiritual homecoming, coming back to the church and her faith in her old parish," he told the Catholic News Service.

Father Coleman, a Sydney Jesuit, is chaplain at the Mary MacKillop Chapel, in North Sydney.

It is also where Kidman attended Easter Mass with her parents, Anthony and Janelle, last year.

The church has reportedly been chosen as the venue for the wedding on June 25.

Since her split from Tom Cruise in 2001, Kidman has returned to her Catholic roots, attending Mass regularly.

She abandoned her faith when she married Cruise in a Church of Scientology ceremony in 1990.

Kidman has since been granted an annulment on the basis that her first marriage did not conform to the requirements of the church.

Father Coleman was instrumental in advising Kidman's family on the annulment.

But he said the family's wish was that "everything stays under wraps".
