Courses are open to those enrolled in our program and any adult who wishes to learn more about a topic for their own personal enrichment. Those enrolling for personal enrichment are allowed to take up to 3 courses before enrolling. Tuition for courses for personal enrichment is $70. For more information, email [email protected], or call (315) 470-1479. Formation for Ministry is a prerequisite for the permanent diaconate. All courses are online on Zoom.
