The Archdiocese of Baltimore received a grant for the formation of pastoral life directors and pastoral associates in the Archdiocese of Baltimore. The intent is to validate our lay ecclesial ministry and work to raise up emerging leaders and form them in the pastoral associate ministry for the benefit of the Archdiocese and the people we serve. The goal is to develop leaders who have a heart for and a personal knowledge of areas that currently are under-served or people who are currently under-represented in ministry.
The grant anticipates fully funding students in a process of formation in the Archdiocese as well as completing a master’s degree in theology or related field at the Ecumenical Institute, St. Mary’s Seminary and University. Candidates can be either full time students or part time students/part time employees at parishes in our Archdiocese.
