MTSM Announces 2020-2021 Pastoral Internships

Mount St. Mary’s Seminary & School of Theology (MTSM) announces the Pastoral Internships for Seminarians for the 2020-2021 academic year.

Pastoral Internships are required for MTSM Seminarians in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati following their years of studying Pre-Theology and Theology and is the mid-point of their formation toward the priesthood.

“The Pastoral Internship year is an excellent opportunity for the Seminarians to engage in the life of a parish, to apply what they have learned in their seminary formation and to grow in their discernment of God’s call,” said Fr. Chris Geiger, Director of Apostolic Works & Internship Program at MTSM. “The relationship between the Seminarian and the parish is a great help to both, and we are incredibly grateful to the pastors and their parishes who are welcoming Seminarians into their communities this year.”
