An invitation from the Office of the Lay Pastoral Ministry Institute (LPMI). So often, people ask how they might grow in their faith. In response to this searching, Bishop Lynch initiated the Lay Pastoral Ministry Institute. The LPMI is a four-year program: an informal year of discernment and three years of formal academic training and spiritual growth.
The initial segment of the program, the Year of Discernment, consists of four sets of four evening sessions and one day of reflections. The Year of Discernment classes will begin on September 11, 2011, and continue once monthly through April 2011.
The LPMI provides education and formation for laity in the Catholic faith. The program is designed to enhance personal faith and develop intellectual aptitude to enrich personal ministry. For anyone interested in attending the LPMI Year of Discernment, brochures are available in the Parish Office. In addition, the registration form and program information can be found on the LPMI website at http://dosp-lpmi.CatholicWeb.com/
For more information, call the LPMI office at 344-1611, ext. 458. Registrations are due in the LPMI office no later than August 30, 2010.
