About this Event
This year's Undergraduate Formation Session: Discernment will be led by Fr. Peter Ryan, SJ.
During this time, you'll have the opportunity to learn about the practice and history of discernment, while making connections with fellow classmates. Discernment is a vital part of the Christian life and is pertinent to your studies here at the seminary. This session will not only equip you with the necessary knowledge to better discern in your own life but also to apply it to your efforts in ministry and evangelization.
*Students pursuing the following degrees are required to attend all three Undergraduate Formation sessions at least once during their program: Basic Diploma, Associate of Arts in Ministry Degree, Certificate in Lay Ecclesial Ministry, and Pastoral Theology Major.*
All students at Sacred Heart Major Seminary are welcome and encouraged to come! Register now - spots are limited!
Please contact Ruth Giroux in the Institute for Lay Ministry if you have any questions (313) 883-8711/ [email protected].
We hope to see you there!
