General Program Information

The program of the Pastoral Ministry Institute is designed for students pursuing an undergraduate degree at the University, for those individuals involved in ministry who wish to deepen their theological and pastoral preparation, and for members of the community at large.

Through the Institute, Saint Xavier University expresses its mission as a Catholic University by providing educational expertise and service to meet the needs of the Catholic Church in the Archdiocese of Chicago. The Pastoral Ministry Institute provides programs for the on-going enrichment of lay and ordained ministers for the local church of this Archdiocese as well as for ministers in the neighboring dioceses.

The Institute works in conjunction with the Religious Studies Department to offer students courses in ministry, a variety of seminars and numerous non-credit workshops.
