St. Junipero Serra Institute

(Youth Ministry Track)

St. Junipero Serra Institute logoSt. Junipero Serra Institute is an Adult Formation Program by the Diocese of Fort Worth. For those seeking a more advanced focus, the St. Junipero Serra Institute will also offer additional specific course content through three ministerial track concentrations. The premise of the ministerial tracks is to offer additional specific course content related to the curriculum offerings already in place through our three-year program. Thus, if someone were interested in the Youth Ministry track they would participate in the regular program by taking specific courses throughout the three-levels of courses offered related to the ministry track chosen.

The purpose and mission of these tracks is to offer the lay faithful the opportunity to learn a specific catechetical discipline and strengthen their abilities and desires to assist the Church in these catechetical areas of need.
