St. Mary's Theological College
The mission of St. Mary's Theological College is to provide professionally educated, well-trained, spiritually mature and disciplined candidates for Holy Orders, who upon ordination are capable of effective and productive ministry throughout the Traditional Anglican Communion. The program is currently in hiatus, pending some curricular restructuring under direction of the Bishop Ordinary and new Rector. Plans are also in development for an enlarged consortium of participating academic institutions and parochial sites. Classes have traditionally met at St. Mary's, but other sites may be assigned by the Bishop, Rector and Faculty.
