The Missionary Discipleship Track is intended for the lay faithful throughout the Diocese. This track supports and equips leaders in parishes in their call to live out a personal apostolate in the world and in their local community. This would also serve as further formation for pastorate/parish Go Make Disciples Teams. The Missionary Discipleship Track is a 2-year cohort that meets monthly and includes coursework and retreat experiences. To learn more and get additional information on the application process, please complete the form at the bottom of the page by July 25.

The Mazzuchelli Institute: Getting Started for Parish Leaders Track is specifically for staff and leaders who are employed in a pastorate/parish. It too will encompass the threefold vision of Encounter, Embody, and Equip but will focus the “equipping” not just on the personal apostolate but also the skills and tools to be a parish employee and leader. It is a 1-year cohort aimed to serve individuals who work directly with parishioners for the mission of the parish.
