The Diocesan Lay Ecclesial Ministry Program is a two-year program that prepares lay men and women to serve as Ecclesial Ministers.  Ecclesial lay ministers are defined as those lay men and women who have been prepared professionally for ministerial leadership roles.  The Church needs people with a solid sense of ministry, a clear theology of Church, and the skills to carry out their ministry.  The Lay Ecclesial Ministry Program is conducted in both English and Spanish, and includes academic studies in theology, spiritual formation and pastoral development.  Additionally, this program is a prerequisite for those who are interested in applying for the Deacon Program.
