Theology
Program focused on the formation of ministers, religious leaders, pastoral agents and collaborators of the ministry, with subjects in theology, liturgy, spirituality, pastoral care, Church history and ministerial formation.
Pastoral
Course aimed at preparing ministers, catechists, pastoral leaders and ecclesiastical agents, covering leadership, pastoral management, doctrine, evangelization and human formation.
