 St. Paul Inside the Walls, in collaboration with Immaculate Conception Seminary School of Theology at Seton Hall University, is proud to offer a Certificate in Catholic Evangelization (CCE), and is accepting applications for the 2023-2026 class. 

This unique program seeks to equip Catholics to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to their homes, parishes and local communities. This corresponds with the wishes of Pope Francis, who emphasizes: "I want the Church to go out to the streets! I want us to resist everything worldly, everything static, everything comfortable, everything to do with clericalism, everything that might make us closed in on ourselves. The parishes, the schools, the institutions are made for going out."

The Certificate program offers two track options: non-credit bearing courses, or 18 credits in graduate courses through the School of Theology. These 18 credits may be applied toward a Master of Arts in Theology. 

Contact Brian Honsberger to apply for the cohort beginning in September, 2023.  Please specify if you would like to receive a non-credit track or credit track application. Thank you.
 

One of our CCE graduates spoke about her experience:

"The CCE program exceeded my expectations. The scope of knowledge shared was impressive and of tremendous value. From gaining greater understanding of the theological and scriptural foundations of evangelization, to navigating the practical application of principles at the parish level, this program served as a springboard for advancing the mission of evangelization throughout our diocese and beyond.

The icing on the cake was exposure to over 50 intelligent, committed classmates from many different parishes (and varying parish cultures) within our diocese.  The CCE program created an opportunity to share insights, challenges and successes, and resulted in bonds of faith-based friendship that otherwise would not have been likely."
