YPP 5102: Pastoral Practicum - Priest as Servant of All

This course, in conjunction with the student's parish assignment, will explore the nature of priesthood. The basis for the exploration is rooted in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, #1547, which states that " ... the ministerial priesthood is at the service of the common priesthood" and " .. . is directed at the unfolding of the baptismal grace of all Christians." The student will reflect upon his experience of parish ministry with a particular focus on the role of pastor within the community of faith.
