STM Celebrates 10 Years
As part of the STM ten year anniversary celebration, Fr. James Martin, S.J., editor at large for America magazine, offered the first annual Daniel Harrington Lecture. In this inaugural lecture, he reflects on his theological education and formation, how it has impacted his ministry, and what he sees as the most pressing needs for ministry in the world today.
What do we mean by community?
Our sense of community, as a school and as part of the wider global Church, informs all that we do. As a diverse, international community dedicated to formation, what we study, how we pray, learn, and grow—and why we feel called to do so—is all understood within the context of caring community.

The Supervised Ministry program guides students in choosing ministry placements that reflect their personal and professional interests. Faculty directors and placement supervisors work with individual students to help them form, develop, cultivate, and deepen their pastoral skills.
Faculty Collaboration
Two book projects, Hope: Promise, Possibility, and Fulfillment and The Holy Spirit: Setting the World on Fire are notable examples of how the faculty collaborates and supports one another academically. For these projects, each contributor explored a central theme from her or his theological area of expertise.
