Academic courses and training workshops are offered every semester in each vicariate of the diocese. Spiritual retreats are offered annually. Forms will be sent upon request. All those enrolled in the School of Pastoral Leadership must take all academic courses for credit.
Training workshops are for clock-hours only.
Courses and workshops are open to any interested persons and may be taken for clock-hours or credit. If a student takes a course or workshop for clock-hours, they will not count toward certification later, but must be repeated for credit. The School of Pastoral Leadership is a certification program, not a degree program. If, however, a participant wants to eventually work toward a degree, requirements can be discussed with Newman University. If one is already working on a degree through Benedictine College or any other academic institution, these courses can usually be transferred.
