Institute for Leadership in Ministry
The Institute for Leadership in Ministry is a three-year program which provides a thorough formation in Catholic theology, education and training in leadership; and, pastoral ministry and spirituality. The goal is to prepare competent ministerial leaders to serve throughout the Diocese of San José.
Foundational to the Institute is that all of us, clergy and lay, are called by virtue of our baptism, to use our gifts to build the Reign of God. Those whose talents include the ability to lead must be theologically trained and pastorally formed. The Institute has trained individuals for leadership in the Diocese of San José since 1997.
The methodologies for formation include: classroom lectures, reading and written assignments, workshops, reflection and prayer, discussion groups, consultations with faculty and administration; and, membership in the Institute community.
In addition to its three year program, the ILM sponsors the Advanced Lay Leadership Formation Program which is designed to provide further training to a select group of students. These individuals have been identified by their pastors as persons with the desire, skill, and talent to serve in positions of lay ecclesial leadership in their parish communities.
