Xavier University of Louisiana's
INSTITUTE FOR BLACK CATHOLIC STUDIES
SUMMER SESSION: JUNE 29 through JULY 21, 2007
| Print Version
Dioceses have increased their educational requirements for
participation in the ministries and mission of the Church. The need for theologically and
culturally competent ministers in the African American community grows. The Institute is designed
to assist Black and cross cultural priests, religious, lay women and men, seminarians, novices,
catechists, diocesan administrators, deacons, lay associates and volunteers from Black and all
other cultural heritages who are engaged in Catholic ministry among Black Catholics and the broader
Pan African Community in the United States. Our goal is to assist students to develop more
meaningful and culturally effective ministerial strategies for the evangelizing and social justice
ministries of the Church within the culturally diverse Black Community.
The participants will find in the Institute a holistic experience of
community life structured around prayer, liturgy, theological and ministerial studies as well as
experiences designed to develop and enrich understanding of African American culture. The IBCS,
set within the Black Catholic context of Xavier University and the city of New Orleans, offers a
variety of opportunities for intellectual, professional and spiritual growth that integrates the
major teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church and Black Religious Experience.
IBCS Programs include:
Master's Degree Program
The Th.M. degree is constituted by an interdisciplinary curriculum that includes theology,
Scripture, history, aesthetics, and social science along with a supervised pastoral/ministerial
practicum.
Certificate Programs and Enrichment Program

in the Faith Community
Spiritual Enrichment Programs
* Taste of the Institute * Eldership
The Continuing Education and Enrichment component, offered in one-week modules, provide
program planning and formation for pastoral leadership, youth ministry, and catechesis and
spiritual enrichment.
