Quality ministry education without breaking the bank!

Today, a new generation of lay people is working hard to assume the challenge of pastoral ministry and church leadership in order to serve the People of God more effectively. Others labor to make a difference in a wide variety of secular and civic contexts as "ministers in the marketplace." Still others are pursuing ongoing education as religious women and men, deacons and priests. The Loyola Institute for Ministry (LIM) meets the intellectual, spiritual, pastoral, and human formation needs of all these different ministers in the church and world. What better place to pursue your studies than in the religiously, culturally, and historically rich setting of New Orleans!

There are two ways to participate in LIM programming, whether on campus, on site (extension or LIMEX), or online:

• as a degree-seeking graduate student
• as a continuing education certificate student (for those involved in ministry and/or education and able to do graduate-level reading)

Welcome to the Loyola Institute for Ministry. We hope you consider joining the thousands of graduates around the country and around the world in this transformative educational opportunity.
