Student Ministry
Each student regularly has a ministry in
the local community, with the exception that during the first year of studies it is
optional for the new student. Over the eight years of formation, the student is
encouraged to engage in a variety of ministries. Some typical ministries could be:
teaching in K-8, 9-12, higher education;
ministering to the elderly, home-bound, poor, sick;
various parish ministries: teaching in catechesis,
religious education, RCIA, confirmation programs, etc.;
ministering the homeless;
youth ministry;

As the student progresses and gains more skill, he may engage in ministries that
utilize those skill. When a student goes on residency, full-time ministry assists
him in the on-going discernment process. This discernment period is crucial, before
the life-long commitment of solemn vows is made.
