- 1. Saturday Institute for Lay Ministries Ver reverso para español
- 2. Cardinal Stritch University’s Saint Clare Center for Catholic Life Saturday Institute for Lay Ministries To serve publicly as catechist, teacher, liturgical, administrative or pastoral minister in the Catholic Church, lay persons are expected to receive appropriate education and formation in Catholic theological and spiritual traditions. In 2005, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops produced “Co-Workers in the Vineyard of the Lord” to affirm and guide the development of Catholic laity seeking to serve in Church ministries. In addition, the Dynamic Catholic Institute suggests that ‘study’ is one of the four key dimensions to be embraced by all Catholics in these times. In an attempt to respond to this reality, Cardinal Stritch University’s Saint Clare Center for Catholic Life was established in 2007. The Center has developed the Saturday Institute for Lay Ministries to be a flexible, practical program of adult formation that is faithful to the Church’s theological and doctrinal tradition and aligned with the principles outlined by the U.S. bishops in “Co-Workers in the Vineyard of the Lord.” The Saturday Institute meets on the main campus of Cardinal Stritch University in Fox Point, Wisconsin and provides a systematic curriculum of education and formation which is offered on six Saturdays during each fall semester and six Saturdays during each spring semester. All individual courses meet for 1 hour and 40 minutes on each of six Saturdays, for a total of 10 classroom hours per course. Courses may be taken a la carte or in a prescribed sequence for the sake of earning a particular certification. Saturday Institute classes may be taken in English and Spanish language cohorts. Please contact the Saint Clare Center with questions or to learn more about certification possibilities. The Saturday Institute is blessed to offer some of the finest instructors and formation facilitators in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, including: Fr. Steve Avella, Ph.D. Marquette University Fr.

- 5. www.stritch.edu/saintclarecenterThe Saint Clare Center for Catholic Life Certification Possibilities: in Religious Education: The Saturday Institute may serve catechists and catechetical program coordinators as a resource toward Archdiocese of Milwaukee Religious Education Certification. The following pathways can be followed: Pathway toward Basic Religious Education Certification: For a catechist who has no prior training or religious education certification, Basic certification may be attained by completion of FOUR Institute courses - one each in theology, scripture, spirituality, and methods. Courses may be taken a la carte and in any order (or in any Institute cycle) and applied toward BASIC religious education certification. Catechists are encouraged to consult their parish coordinator/director of religious education for religious education certification expectations and applications. Pathway toward Intermediate Religious Education Certification: For a catechist who already has earned Basic religious education certification, Intermediate certification may be attained by completion of FIVE Institute courses – one each in theology, scripture, spirituality, and methods plus a fifth course in either theology, scripture, spirituality or methods. Courses may be taken a la carte and in any order (or in any Institute cycle) and applied toward INTERMEDIATE religious education certification. Catechists are encouraged to consult their parish coordinator/director of religious education for religious education certification expectations and applications. This has been enlightening…actually, life-changing — Jim Pittelkow

Anyone who completes the full required course of study and formation to earn a CERTIFICATE of COMPLETION in LAY MINISTRY through the Saint Clare Center (160 hours of prescribed core curriculum, ministry formation and retreats) may also apply toward ADVANCED Religious Education Certification (Please consult Saint Clare Center staff for further details). I hope I speak for everyone in saying that we have appreciated every moment in this program and will probably spend the rest of our lives un-wrapping the gifts that were given us in these two years —Bryan Ramsey ImportantNote: A given Saturday Institute for Lay Ministries (the Institute) course may only be counted or applied toward any certification requirement once. For Religious Education Certification, courses may be applied in any order. Religious Education Certification attempted through the Institute will require successful completion of course requirements as outlined by each instructor and in accordance with expectations of the Saint Clare Center staff.
