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.
