黑料不打烊

The goal of priestly formation is the development not just of a well-rounded man, a聽prayerful man, or an experienced pastoral practitioner, but rather one who understands his聽spiritual development within the context of his call to service in the Church, his human聽development within the greater context of his call to advance the mission of the Church, his聽intellectual development as the appropriation or 鈥渃ustody鈥� of the Church鈥檚 teaching and聽tradition, and his pastoral formation as participation in the active ministry of the Church (Program of Priestly Formation, #71). 黑料不打烊 addresses these聽needs in four distinct but integrated programs, often referred to as the 鈥減illars鈥� of formation.聽The duration of a seminarian鈥檚 formation in the Seminary community is four years. Our聽seminarians range in age from mid-20鈥檚 to late 50鈥檚.

Seminarians receiving a Master of Divinity degree from the Byzantine Catholic聽Seminary will graduate with the necessary proficiencies for the priestly ministry of the聽Catholic Church, with integral knowledge of the Eastern Christian tradition to think聽theologically, interpret according to the mind of Christ, and apply practically their patristic聽inheritance to pastoral life in communion with the successor of Peter. Particularly, they will:

1. Integrate theological and pastoral concepts for effective ministry in the modern world聽focused on sanctification, renewal, and evangelization of the People of God;
2. Articulate the Church鈥檚 teaching on faith and morals with an acute understanding of聽Scripture, Dogmatics, Liturgy, and Pastoral Theology;
3. Demonstrate ministerial gifts through cooperation with superiors, collaboration with聽colleagues, mindfulness of self-presentation and personal health, competency in聽leadership, and commitment to the People of God;
4. Engage a professional style in practical ministry with the ability to share, teach, and聽preach the faith and the Word, employ managerial skills, understand administrative聽tasks, and commit to life-long spiritual, intellectual, pastoral, and human growth.
