Continuing Education
Improving Ministry, Enhancing Knowledge
Our various continuing education offerings extend our reach, delivering valuable insights to our students and those working in parishes, schools, and healthcare settings locally and around the world.
We collaborate with those actively engaged with the Church to develop these on-campus and online resources, which help practitioners and students continuously improve their ministry and enhance their knowledge—in turn allowing us to fulfill our mission of serving dioceses and the Church at large.
We encourage students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members to take part in a wide variety of contemporary theological discussions on campus. From presentations to seminars, these events are thought-provoking, culturally relevant, and free for everyone to attend.
One of many STM opportunities for spiritual enrichment outside the classroom, Crossroads offers noncredit online courses on various topics. Each course promotes faith formation and community-based reflection.
Encore is a free curated collection of digital resources—including podcasts and videos of our on-campus events—covering a range of topics. Through Encore, we make the richness of STM excellence available to an even wider audience.
Interdisciplinary and intercultural, these courses help Spanish speakers deepen their growth via a Christian perspective. On-campus and online courses (sponsored by other Jesuit institutions and ecclesial communities of the Church) promote mutual enrichment and the common good.

The Online Book Club: Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance
Could listening be an initial step in bridging the deep social, political and cultural divides in the U.S. today? In the midst of the digital din, how does one sort out the voices? A compelling memoir might be a good start. In Hillbilly Elegy, J.D. Vance is both narrator of his own story and a frank and honest social commentator about the circumstances he, his family, and his community faced. A complex portrait of the white working class who feel excluded emerges. Join us in reading Vance’s memoir, discussing his analysis and observations, and discovering the impact of his story on your own.
