The Office of Missionary Discipleship is dedicated to enriching the pastoral life of the archdiocese by providing resources and formation to those seeking a more intentional participation in the life and mission of the Catholic Church.
To achieve these goals this office manages the New England Catholic Biblical School and the Apostolate for Lay Ministry Support. With this dual mission, the Office of Missionary Discipleship provides educational and formative opportunities to the lay faithful to cultivate a robust pastoral life and echo the call to holiness to all who subscribe to the lay vocation. Fundamental to the lay state is the call to mission. The Office of Missionary Discipleship fosters leadership and authentic ministry by providing certificate programs, mentoring and guidance, resources, retreat experiences, initial and ongoing formation activities to recruit, prepare, and support ongoing missionary discipleship within the archdiocese and beyond.
