As an integral part of the mission of the Neuhoff School of Ministry, 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 School of Ministry 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:
The Neuhoff School of Ministry 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
