Dear Spiritual Direction Colleagues,
Greetings from the OIS Ignatian Spiritual Direction Initiative. Please take a moment to read this email which includes important information about your listing in the OIS Catalog of Spiritual Directors.
We recently changed the software that supports our Catalog, and we’ve been working to ensure that all data transferred successfully from the old software to the new. We’ve also expanded the section about experience/expertise that you bring to your spiritual direction ministry (e.g. working with divorced, widowed, young adults, LGBTQ+, NONES, etc.). This information is helpful when those seeking a spiritual director express a preference for someone with a background in a specific area. We’ve also included a section for your preference in the days/times we offer programs for ongoing Ignatian spiritual direction formation.
If you have previously registered in the Catalog, and your information has changed (including your availability to accept new directees,) or you'd like to add new information to our expanded sections, I encourage you to
click here to update your record. This will help us to double-check the accuracy of our data transfer and make our Catalog listings current.
Due to limitations in our software as well as our commitment to safeguard the confidentiality of our Catalog, you will need to complete the entire form rather than filling out selected sections.
If you haven’t signed up yet to be included in the OIS Catalog and would like to be listed,
click here to add a new listing.
Thanks to those of you who already updated your record in the past two months!
Please note: When you fill out the form to update your record or add a new one to the Catalog, your new/updated record may not appear right away. There is an additional step that needs to be done by OIS staff to complete the process, and we are doing that on a weekly basis.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. I hope these summer months offer you ample time for spiritual rest and renewal.
