Spiritual Direction is a contemplative ministry that requires a deep connection with one's own spirituality and openness to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. To be a spiritual director, it is essential to prioritize personal spiritual practices such as prayer, contemplation, spiritual reading, and regular engagement with a designated spiritual director. This intentional discipline helps foster accountability and enables individuals to receive the daily gifts from God.

The Art of Spiritual Direction program offered by the faculty at the Center for Spiritual Development is a recognized program of the Center for Religion and Spirituality at LMU. The University awards students with 6 semester hours of continuing education credits for each of the three ASD courses (18 total semester hours for the three-year program). Both institutions will award a Certificate of Completion in the Art of Spiritual Direction. You are required to complete all assignments, both reading and written, attend all classes, and actively participate in discussions, small groups, supervision, practicum, and internship experiences in order to be graded for the assessment in the program. You have access to the Saint Joseph College library; students are welcome to visit the William Hannon Library on the LMU Campus in order to access its collections. Important Note: Obtaining the Certificate in the Art of Spiritual Direction does not automatically qualify you as a spiritual director. It is simply a credential that signifies completion of the program. Whether or not you become a spiritual director ultimately depends on God's calling. The Art of Spiritual Direction Program at the Center for Spiritual Development aims to support individuals in further developing and enhancing their existing skills. These individuals, guided by their deep prayer life, consultation with their own spiritual director, and the intentional companionship they offer to others on their spiritual journey, recognize that they have been called by God for this ministry. The program does not claim to make someone a spiritual director but rather assists them in answering their divine calling.

We meet one Saturday per month, and typically the second Saturday unless it conflicts with a major holiday, e.g. Easter.

In ASD I and II, the program requires you to read one book per month and write a bibliography card or book review for each book. Four specific books are mandatory, while the rest can be chosen from a provided book list. The program is divided into modules, and at the end of each module, you will need to write a reflection paper. By Year Three, you will transition into the role of an "intern" spiritual director, where you will have at least two directees of your own. To support your growth, you will meet with your mentor for monthly supervision. Additionally, you will be expected to write a 15-20 page research paper on a topic of your choice related to spiritual direction. Completing four book reviews and three module reflections is also required. In Years Two and Three, you will participate in mentoring groups as well.

Students are required to attend all ten classes each year. Students may be absent from no more than two classes per year and still obtain credit. Failure to meet this requirement will result in an automatic deferment and a need to redo the year in question.

No, this person cannot serve as your friend and spiritual director simultaneously. Blurring these roles would create confusion and mix different responsibilities. A spiritual director should maintain objectivity and provide contemplative listening, while a friend may be personally involved in your life. The role of a spiritual director is professional, with clear ethical boundaries separating the director and the directee.

Starting from the first year of the program, you will have the opportunity to participate in small group meetings. However, in Year 2, you will be assigned to a dedicated mentoring group for the remaining duration of Years Two and Three. These groups typically consist of six students and are led by a faculty member who serves as the mentor. The mentors are often adjunct faculty members who bring their expertise to guide and support the group throughout the program.

Fee: $ 1,400 per year. Payment Schedule for Each Year of the Program: ASD I (Year One) You must send a non-refundable deposit of $150 upon application into the program. After the interview with faculty and acceptance, you will then be required to pay the balance of $1,250. Remaining balance may be paid in two ways: 1. $1,250 balance on the first day of classes, OR 2. Balance paid during the year in September ($350), January ($450) and April ($450) ASD II and ASD III (Year Two and Year Three) Payments can be made in two ways: 1. $1,400 on the first day of classes, OR 2. Balance paid during the year in September ($450), January ($475) and April ($475) People may apply for a scholarship by contacting Lucy Dominguez AFTER you have been accepted into the program.
