Master of Arts in Pastoral Ministry

September 2012

The Archdiocese of Oklahoma City is delighted to announce the opening of Cohort 5 of the Aquinas Ministry Formation Program.  The Master of Arts degree in Pastoral Ministry is offered in affiliation with Aquinas Institute of Theology, St. Louis.  This experience of academic studies and spiritual formation for ministry serves to prepare pastoral ministers for leadership in service to the local Church and the People of God.

The Archdiocese has offered this opportunity since 1992.  In the years since, 52 persons have completed the program.  We hope that you will one day be among this number.  MAPM is a challenging and rewarding endeavor that will benefit you personally, spiritually, and in ministry.
