Starting February a masters in seminarian formation and a course on Ars praedicandi, promoted by the Center for Priestly Formation
Starting February 19, 2015, the Center for Priestly Formation begins the 2ª edition of the Masters in seminarian formation, a 44 hour course over two semesters for the ongoing formation of priest students in Rome.
Among the objectives of the masters, which is sponsored by the Congregation for the Clergy, is the improvement of skills in the context of completing formation projects, knowledge of the maturation processes of seminarians so as to better help them develop their skills, and preparation in the various forms of spiritual guidance.
The program will thus concentrate on areas of human, spiritual, intellectual and pastoral formation and on the organization of the seminary.
On February 25 the Seminar on Ars praedicandi will begin.
Entitled Classical rhetoric and modern communications at the service of Evangelization, the course, lasting 12 hours total, seeks to aid priests with adequate preparation for preaching, departing from studies of classical rhetorical and offering practical applications.
