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 />
