New Pastors - Part 2

When a priest is appointed to his first pastorate, a new set of skills is required and new questions arise, both in his personal and pastoral life. For the newly appointed pastor, the Institute offers a program to support him as he takes on the role of parish leader.

Topics included in Part 2 include:

• Marriage Prep and Annulments
• Parish Communication Tools
• Catholic School System
• Parish Revitalization
• A diocesan-based orientation program on the policies and procedures of the individual diocese.
• Ongoing mentoring, provided by diocesan mentors trained by the Institute, will be encouraged during the priest’s first two years as a pastor. 

New Pastors - Part 2 is the last in a series of workshops designed to assist the priest become a healthy and effective pastor in the Catholic Church. It follows, in order, "Settling Into Priesthood," "Gearing up to be a Pastor," and "New Pastors - Part 1."
