An Invitation from the Office of the Lay Pastoral Ministry Institute (LPMI):

The Diocesan Lay Pastoral Ministry Institute is a four-year program;  an informal year of discernment and 3 years of formal academic training and spiritual growth.  The LPMI is a program of leadership study and training designed for women and men involved in ministry who show leadership potential and seek to continue their growth as ministerial leaders.  Please pray to be open to God calling you to participate in our LPMI Year of Discernment monthly sessions beginning in September 2021 through April 2022.  Attending the Year of Discernment does not commit you to the 3 years of academic study.  Interested adults can find brochures and more detail on the LPMI website at www.dosp.org/lpmi Or, you may contact our office at the Pastoral Center by phone (727) 344-1611 or email at LPMISEPI@dosp.org.
