The Certificate and Enrichment Programs of the Institute provide ongoing
education and formation of ordained and lay ecclesial ministers and volunteers
for the Black Community and the Catholic Church at-large. Certificate Programs
award Continuing Education Units (CEUs) in accordance with the specific guidelines
of each program based on classroom hours and satisfactory completion of all
course work. These units are not applicable and do not convert to
college or graduate level credits. The summer Programs have
been structured into separate one week seminars to meet the growing demand
for accessible on-going education. Click her for the application
