Lay Pastoral Ministry Institute Is God Calling You to Serve as a Lay Ecclesial Minister in His Church?

Jesus said, And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always. —John 14:16

Effective lay ecclesial ministers need more than a heart for ministry; they also need personal and spiritual maturity, knowledge of theology and other disciplines and pastoral skills. Lay ministers need and deserve a formation program with high standards, effective methods and comprehensive goals. This is what we, here in the diocese, work hard to offer to you with the Lay Pastoral Ministry Institute. Classes begin on September 9, 2017.

Anyone interested in attending the LPMI Year of Discernment monthly sessions, can find more details on the LPMI web site www.dosp.org/lpmi. You many also contact the LPMI office at the Pastoral Center at 727.344.1611, or send an email to [email protected].
