Santa Croce Program

2024 SANTA CROCE PROGRAM

The Santa Croce Program is designed specifically for Superiors and Formators (or for potential future Superiors and Formators) from CMSWR communities. The course will begin in January 2024 and conclude in December 2024. It will consist of two weeks of onsite classes in Rome from January 29-February 9, 2024; and then in the second semester from September 9-20, 2024. Please plan to arrive in Rome on Saturday, January 27, 2024 and depart from Rome on Sunday, February 11, 2024 for the first semester, and arrive in Rome on Saturday, September 7, 2024 and depart from Rome on Sunday, September 22, 2024 for the second semester. Written exams will be taken from the United States at the end of each semester. While in Rome participants will reside at the Domus. The four weeks of classes in Rome will be taught by Santa Croce faculty in the mornings; in the afternoons and on weekends, there will be opportunities to visit sacred sites in Rome and environs. In the intervening months, the sister students will be assigned readings and papers under the supervision of the Santa Croce faculty. The sister students will earn European credits which are transferable to any European Pontifical University.
