Dear Family in Christ,

 

Another historic opportunity for the people of our community has presented itself in the recent days.

 

I am very pleased to announce that The Graduate Theological Institute, an accredited theological school located in South Bend, Indiana has extended P.R.I.M.E. (Partnering Resources in Ministry Education) affiliation to The Reformed Catholic Church through Holy Cross Reformed Catholic Seminary, Columbus, Ohio and Phoenix Theological Institute, Phoenix, Arizona. 

 

This important relationship provides the clergy and faithful of this church to complete their educational requirements at Holy Cross or Phoenix Theological Institute with the endorsement of The Graduate Theological Foundation.  This relationship provides the student an opportunity to earn an accredited undergraduate, graduate or post graduate degree from a recognized and respected theological institute that will enhance their ministerial and employment opportunities.

 

Both Holy Cross Reformed Catholic Seminary and Phoenix Theological School will begin accepting students for the Fall, 2008 Semester on August 1, 2008.  Interested clergy or members of the church should contact me at Presidingbishop@reformedcatholicchurch.org  An Seminary Application form will be posted on the RCC website, under the Vocation Tab within the 10 days. 

 

To learn more about the Graduate Theological Foundation, please go to their website, www.gtfeducation.org

 

This is a very important moment in the life of The Reformed Catholic Church and I am pleased to share this exciting news with our community.

 

May God bless each of you,

 

++Phillip Zimmerman, RSJ

Presiding Bishop
