Newly Ordained Priests:
Transition Into Ministry

Each spring, Institute Director Fr. Ronald Knott teaches a pastoral leadership class for the “about-to-be-ordained” at Saint Meinrad School of Theology. The books used in this class are offered to their diocesan brothers studying in other seminaries.

Class materials come from three of Fr. Knott’s books:

  • From Seminarian to Diocesan Priest: Managing a Successful Transition
  • Intentional Presbyterates: Claiming Our Common Sense of Purpose as Diocesan Priests
  • Good and Good at It: The Spiritual Leadership of a Parish Priest (available 2007)

These books are available through The Scholar Shop.

Each and every priest is joined to his brother priest by a bond of charity, prayer, and every kind of cooperation.
