Our Programs

Clinical Pastoral Education

Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) is intended to assist clergy, candidates for ministry, and pastoral care workers to develop a pastoral identity as well appropriate skills in the delivery of pastoral care

We offer CPE units in a number of modalities including extended (part-time), full-time, and full-year residencies.

CPE courses are "clinical" insofar as the participants engage in pastoral ministry under supervision.

This experiential process follows the guidelines of the handbook of the Canadian Association for Spiritual Care.
