Forming heart, mind, and soul from conception to natural death, the program will educate students for life. The Pastoral Studies Institute will help provide students with the knowledge and skills to succeed personally and professionally. Students, with confidence, will rise to the challenge of being peer ministers, religious educators, youth directors, and parish coordinators. Students will come as individuals and leave as a renewed and enriched faith group. Networking will occur as participation in the program leads to group discussions and faith building excellence.</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-left: medium none #111111; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; border-bottom: medium none" width="22%" height="17"> </td> <td style="border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none #111111; border-top: medium none; border-bottom: medium none" width="54%" colSpan="2" height="17"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-left: medium none #111111; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; border-bottom: medium none" width="76%" colSpan="3" height="22"> <div style="border-bottom: 3px solid #800000"> <font face="Impact" color="#800000" size="5">Purpose</font></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-left: medium none #111111; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; border-bottom: medium none" width="101%" colSpan="3" height="131"> To offer adult education as conveniently as possible in the Diocese of Tulsa, the Pastoral Studies Institute will provide the necessary educational opportunities for those individuals seeking to further their knowledge of the Catholic faith. The PSI was developed as a response to the profound and on-going need of the Catholic Church in Eastern Oklahoma, at the initiative of the Diocesan Religious Formation Department. Saint Gregory's University, Newman University and Madonna University, in response to that initiate and in support of the life and ministry of the Church in Oklahoma, have collaborated with the Department of Religious Formation to provide a solid foundation in Catholic theology to educate, nourish, strengthen, and renew the Catholic faith and church in Oklahoma.</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-left: medium none #111111; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; border-bottom: medium none" width="22%" height="17"> </td> <td style="border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none #111111; border-top: medium none; border-bottom: medium none" width="54%" colSpan="2" height="17"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-left: medium none #111111; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; border-bottom: medium none" width="76%" colSpan="3" height="23"> <div style="border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: #800000"> <font face="Impact" color="#800000" size="5">What Is the Pastoral Studies Institute?</font></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border-left: medium none #111111; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; border-bottom: medium none" width="76%" colSpan="3" height="74"> <p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman">The Pastoral Studies Institute (PSI) is the Diocese of Tulsa adult formation program.
