 Catholic Education - School of Pastoral Leadership

NOTE:  As of the Fall of 2003, the Religious Studies Program has been incorporated into the the School of Pastoral Leadership.

Information

Sponsored by the Diocese of Salina and Newman University, Wichita, the School of Pastoral Leadership is a comprehensive training program offering certification in six areas of ministry:  Parish Life Coordinator, Pastoral Associate, Religious Education Coordinator, Liturgical Coordinator, Family Life Minister, and Youth Minister.

Training concentrates on three important areas of ministerial development:  academic courses, training workshops, and spiritual retreats.  Academic courses and training workshops are offered every semester in each vicariate of the diocese.  Spiritual retreats are offered annually.

Admission to the School of Pastoral Leadership requires filling out the appropriate application forms and endorsement by one's pastor/pastoral administrator and Parish Pastoral Council.  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 for clock-hours, it will not count toward certification later, but must be repeated for credit.

Those wishing to work toward certification may not need to take all the courses if they have taken the same or similar courses through the Lumen or Religious Studies programs.  Transcripts should be sent to Fr. Frank Coady at the chancery.  The admissions committee will review transcripts to see what courses students will need to take.
