As an integral part of the mission of the Neuhoff Institute for Ministry & Evangelization, we pride ourselves on the various collaborative partnerships we have developed over our 20+ years of service with dioceses and organizations across the nation to provide theological education for transformative service. Students at the Neuhoff Institute are given access to these relationships as they pursue concrete opportunities to learn more about the needs of the Church, observe ongoing excellence in ministry, try out new skills and knowledge and consider ministerial careers. Some of these partnerships include:
We work closely with the Diocese of Dallas, given that it is the home diocese of the University of Dallas. For example, the undergraduate degree in pastoral ministry was established at the request of Bishop (now Cardinal) Kevin Farrell, and we provide the annual University of Dallas Ministry Conference for the diocese. We also offer various Continuing Education programs in the parishes including Deacon formation in both Spanish and English, Intercultural Ministry and the Certificate in Pastoral Ministry for all parish ministers.
The Neuhoff Institute for Ministry & Evangelization has a close partnership with the Diocese of Fort Worth, much like that in the Diocese of Dallas. We provide Deacon Formation in Spanish for the diocese and have offered various Continuing Education programs in the parishes of Fort Worth.
In partnership with the Archdiocese of Atlanta we provide our three-year, online Certificate of Pastoral Theology Program (CPT) in Spanish. Through this Spanish language program, over 150 students are receiving certification to become master catechists for this Archdiocese. In 2017, the Archdiocese of Atlanta was awarded the "New Wineskins Award" from the National Conference for Catechetical Ministry for this program, highlighting their collaboration with University of Dallas to equip well-trained Spanish language ministers. Watch our video about the program to learn more.
As part of the Archdiocese of Seattle's Christifideles Laici Program, University of Dallas offers its graduate programs to leaders called to serve God’s people as competent, effective and certified ministers for youth & young adults, faith formation, RCIA, chaplaincy, outreach, administration, detention ministry, sacramental preparation, liturgy and other ministries.
To successfully complete the MPM - Health Care Ministry degree, students must complete a practicum in hospital-based pastoral care, which is available in cooperation with local hospitals whose programs are accredited by the National Association for Clinical Pastoral Education.
Along with the CES, we have provided the Catholic Biblical School in Spanish in the Dioceses of Knoxville, TN, Brownsville, TX, and Las Cruces, NM.
“A reputable ministry organization provides a service that complements anyone’s pursuit of advanced degree in ministry. As a result of UD’s collaboration, I was able to complete the degree with certificate courses in Helena, Montana. It’s difficult to find a university more willing to work with active ministers in their pursuit of higher education.”
- Doug Tooke, MPM ‘13, Director of Youth & Young Adult Ministry, Diocese of Helena, Montana
