Program Description:

The Institute in Pastoral Ministries serves pastoral practitioners, ecclesiastical administrators, and educationally motivated Catholic adults. Our graduate and certificate programs begin after Easter and conclude before Advent.
Studies proceed in three phases: 1) Reading and writing to be completed at home in preparation for the summer residency; 2) Two-week summer residency in Winona where students and faculty immerse into critical dialogue, common prayer, and relaxation; and 3) Post-residency assignments at home that include additional reading and writing that promote insight from research that can reference the pastoral context of participants' local churches.
Creative and accessible professors lead by example and clarify by theory. Faculty are drawn from pastoral and academic environments throughout the United States and hold the highest academic credentials.

Accreditation:

The Institute is a member of the Association of Gradute Programs in Ministry (AGPIM), the National Assoc. for Lay Ministry (NALM) and the National Assoc. of Church Personnel Administrators (NACPA)
