Your statement of purpose will enable the Admissions Committee to understand your reasons for applying to the Loyola Institute for Ministry (LIM) and your ability to benefit from our programs. Your statement should be 600-1,200 words and double-spaced (approximately 3 pages). It should reflect your understanding of how LIM can help you grow in a current or future ministry, or, for those who do not now consider themselves to be in ministry, help you explore faith and its implications for the Church and world today.
Please state as clearly as possible your reasons for seeking your program and degree level. You may include any additional information about yourself that you believe would assist the Admission Committee in evaluating your work, academic, and ministerial background, as well as information that will aid the committee in assessing your ability to engage in this online, graduate-level ministry education program. Please also elaborate on your experience with online learning and your willingness to engage professionally and pastorally in group learning.
