YPP 5103: Pastoral Practicum - Pastoral Charity

In conjunction with the student's parish assignment, course will be centered on the life of the priest as inherently marked by pastoral charity. 'The ministry of the priest, precisely because of its participation in the saving ministry of Jesus Christ the head and shepherd, cannot fail to express and live out his pastoral charity which is both the source and spirit of his service and gift of self." (POV 24) Engaged in apostolic works ordered to the marginalized, student will reflect on the pastor's role in guiding community response.
