Spiritual Direction Formation Program

The Archdiocese of Adelaide Spiritual Directors Formation Program is a two-year program underpinned by Ignatian Spirituality. We believe that spiritual direction is a vocation. Consequently, this program is designed to help individuals who are feeling drawn to the ministry of spiritual direction to explore their desire and abilities for this ministry and to discern if God is calling them to this ministry.

For more information please read the Program Outline Handbook below. 

Time commitment participants are required to attend:

  • weekly sessions of 3.5 hours during Semester periods
  • supervision 1 hour per fortnight
  • 2 hours per week for practice of giving spiritual direction
  • a bi-annual retreat
