An Invitation from the Office of the

Lay Pastoral Ministry Institute (LPMI)

So often, people ask how they might grow in their faith. In response to this searching, the Lay Pastoral Ministry Institute was initiated in 1998. The LPMI provides education and formation for laity in the Catholic faith. The program is designed to enhance personal faith and develop intellectual aptitude to enrich personal ministry. It is a four-year program: an informal year of discernment and three years of formal academic training and spiritual growth. Upon completion of the program, participants are formally “commissioned” by the Bishop.

The initial segment of the program, the Year of Discernment, consists of eight Saturday sessions from 9:30am to 3pm. Classes meet at Christ the King Parish, located at 821 S. Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, begin on September 10, 2022 and continue once monthly through April 2023. For anyone interested in attending the LPMI Year of Discernment, the registration form and program information can be found on the LPMI web site at: https://www.dosp.org/lpmi/year-of-discernment/ or call the LPMI office at 727-344-1611. Registrations are due in the LPMI office no later than September 5, 2022.
