MIAMI | The Office of Lay Ministry invites the faithful to enroll in the Archdiocesan School of Ministry, a two-year formation program for lay men and women who desire to grow in their understanding of the Catholic faith and their ability to serve the Church.

Classes focus on spirituality, theology and pastoral ministry, and are a must for anyone already engaged in ministry. Students can opt for traditional classroom format or online courses in both English and Spanish. Classes meet once a week: on Tuesday evenings, in English and Spanish, at St. Brendan High School, Miami; on Wednesday evenings, in English, at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish, West Kendall; and on Thursday evenings, in Spanish, at St. Bartholomew Parish in Miramar.

Students interested in learning more about their faith receive a Catholic Studies Certificate; those interested in serving in a particular ministry receive a Pastoral Ministry Certificate. Participants must be recommended by their pastor. Courses for the 2018 graduating class begin this September.

Tuition is $560/individual or $1,020/couple, plus a non-refundable registration fee of $25 by July 31 or $50 after Aug. 1. Enrollment ends Aug. 31. For application forms, go to www.miamiarch.org/layministry and click on the School of Ministry tab. Or email: [email protected] or 305-762-1184.

As a graduate of the Class of 2012 and Coordinator of the English Online Classes of 2014 and 2016 I can readily attest to the powerful impact these classes have on the lives of those enrolled in them. You will learn more about our Catholic Faith and how to live it than you would ever dream possible. For those involved in any area of Ministry, these classes are an invaluable asset. I strongly encourage anyone who desires to grow in faith to prayerfully consider registering, and, should you opt for the English Online Class of 2018, it will be my great privilege to share your journey! The online courses are comprised of a series of eight sessions lasting five weeks each, and spread out over a period of two years. Upon completion of each online session, we have an in-person meeting. For those in the English Online Classes, the in-person meetings take place at St. Joseph's Church on Miami Beach. Our graduates speak glowingly of their experience in this formation process. Why not become a part of it yourself?
