Spiritual Directors

This compilation is offered to you, the deacons and wives of the Archdiocese of Chicago, to serve as a beginning in your journey to locate a spiritual director. We believe that each of the individuals listed is willing to consider receiving directees.  Not only is this list a beginning for you, it is also a beginning in creating a comprehensive list for our community. As the days proceed, we will endeavor to supplement this list with directors who are able to offer direction in the various languages that we speak.

Please note that, due to the variety of approaches to our infinite God, we know that not each director on this list will be able to be “all things to all people.”  There might be a match “made in heaven” for you here.  There might also be a mismatch between who you are and where you are on your journey and who the director is.  It is normal for any beginning session with a director for both of you to assess whether this match of director and directee will be fruitful.  You should have that conversation.  We imagine that each of the directors listed here know that this is also an expectation that we have of them. In your conversation with the director, you should also ask what the stipend for their service will be.

If you are not now seeing a spiritual director, you should remedy that.  Look at the list here and see if there is someone there who might help you in your walk with the Lord. The next step is up to you. 

 

With much love and respect,
Your Office of the Diaconate
