Welcome to Graduate Program in Pastoral Ministries (GPPM)
The Graduate Program in Pastoral Ministries at SCU seeks to transform hearts and lives through the engagement of theology and ministry for competence, conscience, and compassion in accompanying others. We are excited to announce that we are now offering a new emphasis in Youth and Young Adult Ministries. There are currently two other emphases available in Latina/o Ministries and Restorative Justice and Chaplaincy along with the general MA degree with no emphasis and the Diaconate Education program. We also offer a Graduate Certificate in Restorative Justice and Chaplaincy as part of the Catholic Restorative Justice Network.
Our programs will challenge you to engage in theological reflection, take risks, and take charge. Study what you love with colleagues involved in ministry.
Because people believe in our programs and our ministers we are blessed with generous benefactors.
Today’s student ministers juggle a lot; family responsibilities, full time jobs and ministry commitments. Our programs teach how to accompany those on the margins and lead with compassion.
