Pastoral Services

Pastoral Counseling
Pastoral counseling is available to faculty, staff and students who would like to address personal issues concerning faith and spirituality. The Pastoral Team is available throughout the year.

Sacramental Preparation
Classes for the reception of sacraments are scheduled every other year. Catholic students who have not received Confirmation, Reconciliation or Eucharist are invited to deepen their faith by meeting with a member of the Pastoral Team. Students who are inquiring into the Catholic faith may be baptized after suitable discernment and preparation.

Vocational Presentations & Guidance
At Providence, potential candidates are identified by faculty members, the Pastoral Director, or the Augustinians and are personally invited to explore the call to serve God and the Church--whether in ordained, professed or lay ministry. Individuals and small groups meet with the Augustinian vocation director for discernment and prayerful discussion about what they will do with their lives.
