Are you feeling called to deepen your faith and guide others on their spiritual journeys? The School of Spiritual Direction in the Diocese of Little Rock is now accepting applications for its next class to begin in September. 

This program is designed for Catholics who want to serve their communities as spiritual directors. Class size is limited to eight to 10 participants.

Catholics in good standing who have been under spiritual direction for at least a year are invited to apply. They must also have previous participation in an Ignatian "Retreat in Daily Life" (RIDL), another 19th annotation Ignatian retreat or a five day silent retreat.

The cost to attend is $150 per month. The application deadline is April 1. Applications must be requested by March 1 by emailing Ines Mahfouz.

The School of Spiritual Direction is a three-year, bilingual program that certifies those who complete it as spiritual directors to serve in the Diocese of Little Rock. Participants may be priests, religious and laity. Spiritual directors aim to guide individuals who seek to follow God's will for their lives and deepen their relationship with him.
