Student Ministry Formation
Queens and Staten Island
Student Ministry Formation offers both those students who have had previous ministry experience in their high schools or parishes, as well as those students seeking to learn more about ministry, the opportunity to participate in a year long process of pastoral reflection and training.  The program's goal stems from our Vincentian mandate, "God has sent me to preach the good news to the poor."  Three formation days per semester are offered in addition to hands-on ministry.  This invitation is open to all those seeking to deepen their understanding of themselves as being sent out on mission into life.
