Spiritual Direction for JVC Community

Are you interested in providing spiritual direction for members of our JVC community?

JVC is currently creating a nationwide list of spiritual directors interested in supporting Former Jesuit Volunteers (FJVs) and current JVs. Please fill out this survey if you are available and qualified to provide spiritual direction in any of the following contexts:

Spiritual direction for current JVs in retreat settings
Spiritual direction for current JVs during their program year
Spiritual direction for FJVs seeking accompaniment

Below, you will have the opportunity to indicate whether you are comfortable with your information being included in a database of spiritual directors to be shared with our JVC community. If you are interested in providing spiritual direction to our community but would prefer for your information to be visible only to JVC staff, just let us know!

Thank you for your support of our JVC community! We are thrilled to collect this information and provide JVs and FJVs with the opportunity to explore their spirituality with the support of a spiritual director.

Please forward this form along to any FJVs or friends of JVC who may be interested.

With gratitude,

Carter White (San Diego, CA 2017-18)
