How to locate a Catholic Spiritual Director

Blessings to you, our friends in Christ,

Finding a Catholic spiritual director is a challenge for sure, no less finding one that is available and is a match to what you are looking for such as experience, training, tradition and basics such as a personality fit.

Here at Catholic Spiritual Directors we are seeking opportunities to provide ministry resources to support directors; and due to many requests,now provide listings of programs, organizations, and individual spiritual directors.

Where to start?

Call first:

• Your Parish Priest

• Your Diocese

• Nearest Retreat Center, Seminary, or university Campus Ministry

Next Look Up:

• Registry Members of Catholic Spiritual Directors

• Organizations that list Directors

Next Contact:

• Contact the Spiritual Direction Training Programs (to volunteer - students need experience)

What to ask and look for?

• Inquire about their formal education, formational training, additional certificates, spiritual life, how they practice, current availability, and stipend fees.

• Ask about if they do or would follow the Ethical Guidelines for a Catholic Spiritual Director listed here in our site.

Our prayers for you and all you love.
