The Clergy-Only Courses, open only to Catholic priests and deacons (an updated Bishop's letter of recommendation is required for all applicants), are comprised of four modules spanning two years; each module consists of an intensive 10-day session of prayer and study.
The topics discussed throughout these four modules are sequenced to provide and train the learner with the foundations of the Church’s teaching and practice in the ministry of exorcism, healing and deliverance. Click HERE to view the 2-year curriculum for the Clergy-Only Courses.
