Loyola Instute for Ministry

The Catholic Church considers the call of all the baptized to ministry “a cause for rejoicing.“ At the Loyola Institute for Ministry (LIM), we agree. LIM's programs are affordable and take seriously the hopes and experience you bring to your studies. LIM promotes a broad vision of ministry, which holds that it is practiced in explicitly ecclesial contexts--in churches, schools and dioceses--and beyond wherever people of faith live and work. LIM teaches a method called “practical theology.”  Built on the best in biblical and theological scholarship, it seeks to discern implications for the individual, Church and world. It fosters personal, spiritual, and professional growth while you’re here--and after you graduate.
