What is the Master?
Comillas Pontifical University offers a Master's Degree in Vocational Discernment and Spiritual Accompaniment, in collaboration with the School of Formators of the San Ignacio Spirituality Centre in Salamanca. The aim of the program is to prepare people to be able to give spiritual courses that will enable them to form other people within religious congregations and other forms of life present in the Church, helping them in their vocational discernment and fostering in them fidelity to their respective vocational commitments.
The program is aimed at priests, religious and lay people who work directly in the promotion, formation or accompaniment of vocations. It is also aimed at those who provide vocational accompaniment and support personal formation processes through spiritual exercises, spiritual direction and the training of pastoral agents.
This master's degree, in addition to providing theoretical knowledge and recommending readings to complement these theory classes, includes practical training supervised by the lecturers. The student will carry out six cases of vocational assessment and will be able to have the supervision of the accompaniment that he/she develops.
