This course provides the foundation for an understanding and application of law in the life of the Church and in pastoral ministry. The meaning of law in the ecclesiology of Vatican II and its role in the life of the People of God are the basic themes of this course. Topics considered include canonical principles and general norms (Book I of the Code of Canon Law); the People of God and their rights and obligations in the Church; the organization of the universal, the particular and the local church (Book II); responsibilities governed by the teaching office of the Church, particularly as these relate to ordained ministry (Book III); temporal goods in the Church (Book V); and penalties and sanctions in the context of the Church as a communion of faith (Book VI). This course is intended to give the student: (1) a general sense of the nature, structure, and role of law in the Church; (2) an understanding of the relationship between the pastoral mission of the Church and the law; and (3) an understanding of the content of the law as it may be encountered in parish ministry and the administrative reality of the local Church. The large body of material in the Code of Canon Law and the limited length of time in the semester make it impossible to treat the law in great depth; however, the course covers some critical areas such as the magisterium, the hierarchical organization of the Church, and the rights and obligations of the Christian faithful in greater depth. This course will not make the student an expert in the law; nevertheless, it should give the student a sense of the “how and why” of law in the Church.
This course is designed to assist the ordination candidate in applying principles of law in service to the People of God through the sanctifying office of the Church (Book IV of the Code of Canon Law).

Most of the course is devoted to the Church’s law on matrimony. Special emphasis is placed on the minister’s task to prepare the parties for marriage; this instruction will focus on the 187
This team-taught course introduces the student to the following areas: Marriage Preparation based on the prenuptial investigation; the Theology of Marriage based on recent magisterial teachings and the understanding of the spousal mirroring of the love among the persons in the Trinity; Moral issues in the Pastoral Care of Marriage and Families; and the grounds and procedures of the Nullity Process.
This course focuses on preparing students for competent priestly ministry and provides a forum for the integration of academic studies, pastoral practice, and personal development. Using the sacraments for conversation and drawing from the mystical theology writings of the Church doctors, the course places its emphasis upon the universal call to holiness of every human being. The student is expected to be able to guide seekers along the path of holiness and to communicate the mysteries of the faith in clear and comprehensible language. This course also provides a forum for the students to discuss current events in society which have an impact upon the Church and their ministry to others who face issues in the culture of the present day.
