Theological scholars, retreat masters, lecturers, authors, pastoral counselors, and clergy make up St. Bernard’s diverse faculty of faithful men and women. All full-time faculty have the mandatum, “an acknowledgment by Church authority that a Catholic professor of a theological discipline is teaching within the full communion of the Catholic Church” (Guidelines Concerning the Academic Mandatum). They hold degrees from the University of Toronto, the University of Notre Dame, the Pontifical John Paul II Institute, Ave Maria University, the University of Macerata, Italy, and others - all sharing a passion for learning, ministry, and the success of their students. Highly accessible as advisors, they assist in course selection as well as the intellectual, human, pastoral, and spiritual dimensions of formation.
