SACERDOS INSTITUTE

The mission of the Sacerdos Institute is to be a center of spirituality and communion, of theological and pastoral formation at the service of the church and her pastors. The institute is directed at the permanent formation and perseverance of diocesan priests, conscious that priests are the portion of the Church most loved by the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Institute favors reciprocal enrichment by means of an interchange of personal experiences and pastoral ideas among priests. It creates moments of fraternity and communion, putting itself at the disposition of the clergy to collaborate with diocesan programs. The Sacerdos Institute also organizes courses geared towards priests and seminarians.

The course is organized by the Pontifical Institute Notre Dame of Jerusalem Center and by Istituto Sacerdos of Rome. Its goal is the spiritual renewal of priests through a deepening in the vocation that they have received.

Organized in three sections, the course presents a biblical, historical, and above all spiritual vision of the places of the redemption of Jesus Christ.

Among the many activities we mention the following:
