Institute for Leadership in Ministry


The Second Vatican Council called for the full and active participation of the faithful. In his apostolic exhortation Christifidelis Laici (January 1989), Pope John Paul II writes: " the lay faithful must take an active, conscious, and responsible part in the mission of the Church."  The Institute for Leadership in Ministry serves to prepare members of the Catholic laity from the Diocese of San Jose for leadership in the Church. The parish pastor must recommend individuals interested in applying for the Institute.  For more information, contact: Diocese of San Jose, Institute for Leadership in Ministry (408) 983-0110 or email Anne Grycz at grycz@dsj.org
