Professional Development
The Saint Clare Center provides professional development opportunities as a key part of its mission to educate and form lay ministers and lay leaders who function in parish and societal ministries.
These opportunities include:
Pentecost Mission
The Pentecost Mission education and discernment programs delivered through the Saint Clare Center are aimed at adult Catholics who may not intend to go into formal lay ministry but want to grow in the knowledge of their faith and deepen their relationship with God and the Church.
Pentecost Mission programs may be taken for:
- Personal enrichment
- Discernment for lay ministry formation
- Basic certification as a catechist or Catholic-school teacher
- Foundational courses for those interested in diaconate formation
- Maintenance of certification
