Spirituality Section

The Master of Arts in Theology Major in Spirituality is directed towards the formation, education and training of religious/lay men and women in the area of Christian spirituality and spiritual accompaniment. In the light of the changing times and the emerging needs of our societies, particularly in Asia, the Church continues to play a major role in the guidance and formation of its members. The M.A. Program in spirituality is designed to provide a fundamental theoretical framework as well as an affective knowledge and praxis of Christian Spirituality within the context of Asia.

The 1999 Asian Synod has sounded a call “to train priests and religious who are men and women of God, devoted to prayer and living deep spiritual lives who are able to guide and accompany others in their road to God.” To address this call and to extend the challenge to lay people as well, the Course aims to equip consecrated men and women and lay partners with the necessary knowledge and skills to address the needs of the faithful who continue to search for God and for meaningful ways in responding to the Christian call.

The Program has two categories: “thesis” and “non-thesis”.
