A key component of pastoral formation is <strong>St</strong>.<br />
Mary’s homiletics program which seeks to<br />
help seminarians become effective preachers<br />
by emphasizing the development of a rich<br />
spiritual, pastoral, and theological imagination<br />
for the ministry of the Word. Seminarians<br />
have ready access to a communications studio<br />
and other technological means for enhancing<br />
their preaching ability.<br />
The Pastoral Formation Program Handbook<br />
explains all the details of the program, including<br />
its goals, sequences, required experiences,<br />
methods of evaluation, and expected pastoral<br />
outcomes. It clearly indicates how pastoral<br />
experience is integrated with human, spiritual,<br />
and academic formation under the direction<br />
of the faculty.<br />
<strong>St</strong>. Mary’s encourages students to make use of<br />
the various programs and opportunities<br />
offered them in their home dioceses. Clinical<br />
Pastoral Education (CPE) is recognized with<br />
academic credit by the School of Theology.<br />
Fr. Paul Maillet, P.S.S., Vice Rector, in a formation conversation with Mark Donohue (Diocese of Wilmington).<br />
