I was wondering if any of you would know where I could find a religious mentor. Are there any good websites I could go to? I don’t feel overly comfortable going to my parish priest for advice.
 
I believe what you’re looking for is a “spiritual director.” If that is the case, then you should definitely consider asking your pastor for recommendations. You could also ask a priest to whom you confess regularly for recommendations. If there is an abbey, or monastery, or retreat house within reasonable driving distance and that seems solid in the faith (you can browse their web site to assess that), then you might make an appointment with the abbot, prior, or director and ask for recommendations. The links below may also be helpful.
