Formation serves as a bridge between theory and praxis.  This has been a key required component for all full-time, part-time, and distance students enrolled in the Master of Divinity, Master of Arts, Master of Arts in Pastoral Studies, or the Master of Arts in Ministry. It also sets the foundation for our Tolton and Romero Scholars and integrates spiritual formation, theological understanding and praxis, all within the context of the Hispanic/Latin@African American Catholic culture.

The formation consists of monthly theological reflections or gatherings with other scholars, as well as bi-annual retreats and participation in special events at CTU.
