In conjunction with Borromeo Seminary and Saint Mary Seminary & Graduate School of Theology, MMGSI sponsors a series of public lectures each year.
Formerly known as the Mary, Mother of the Good Shepherd Academy, the MMGSI Summer Session brings together parish employees and leaders from throughout the diocese to develop and fortify their pastoral leadership skills.
MMGSI offers laypeople the opportunity to take college-level courses on a range of topics, including Sacred Scripture, Trinity, Christology, and moral theology, without the financial or time commitments required for formal undergraduate study.
These three-hour workshops introduce participants to important topics, figures, and writings in western philosophy. They serve as preparation for advanced theological study, and will be of interest to anyone interested in exploring the intellectual foundations of our faith.
