PMFP is a six-month adult faith formation program for all those seeking to learn more about their Catholic faith, especially those who feel called to grow in discipleship and service.

​

PMFP is a basic-level program in which you will learn more about:

· Prayer

· The art of theological reflection

· Scripture

· The meaning of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection in our lives

· Our role in the Church today

The Introduction to CMFP is an intensive 5-session intermediate course that includes the following introductory classes. 

​

· Philosophy

· Theology

· Christian Anthropology

· Theological Reflection & Discernment

Each class will also help develop skills in reading, writing, critical thinking, research, and use of technology that are necessary for CMFP.

The Continuing Ministry Formation Program (CMFP) is a 3-5 year adult enrichment program as well as a credential program for coordinators of ministries to prepare them to serve the Church as lay ecclesial ministers supporting the Pastor or Pastoral Coordinator in enacting the parish and diocesan vision.

​A ministry specialization includes additional formation and training in a particular area of ministry. In specialization courses, you will have a chance to study Church documents that are specifically related to a particular ministry, such as catechesis or youth ministry. In addition, you will also be introduced to practices and skills that will help you as a minister.

​

There are two levels of specializations. The basic level meets the requirements for PMFP, and the advanced specializations meet the requirements for CMFP. ​
