  • the program/el programa

    • Saint Francis de Sales School for Pastoral Ministry aids the formation of the Faithful of the Diocese of Oakland to help them realize the universal call to holiness. Centered on the constitutions of the Second Vatican Council and shaped by the vision of Pope Francis for the New Evangelization, this integrated set of courses is newly designed to form students to be “missionary disciples.” It provides formation in Christ-centered spirituality and prayer, a style of teaching that flows from and inspires transformation in Christ, and a missionary outlook focused on witnessing to the Gospel within our families, parishes, and the wider world.

      The courses are designed to complement and build upon each other. In Year One, students deepen their knowledge of God and human existence through an exploration of biblical revelation; they also receive formation in Christian spirituality and prayer. Year Two moves on to explore the theological tradition and worship of the Church.  Year Three prepares students to engage in the mission of evangelization within and around their parish communities.

      The School meets one Saturday per month for three years. Using an adult-learning model, students take classes, which include lectures, discussions, reading, and theological reflection. They also pray together and participate in the sacraments and liturgies of the Church. Courses are tailored to meet the needs of the working professional.  As participants engage with the course content, they are challenged to grow in intentional discipleship and missionary passion.

      Following this program, students will have the opportunity to specialize their studies in a particular area of ministry or area of interest.
