MFP 2025 Commissioned for Ministry
>> Ministry Formation Program Class of 2025 Celebrates Completion
Congratulations to the Ministry Formation Program (MFP) Class of 2025 on completing the Diocese of St. Augustine’s three-year certification program in lay ecclesial ministry. Graduates were recognized by Bishop Erik Pohlmeier on June 14, at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine, for their commitment to deepening their faith and serving the Church.
The MFP is designed to form lay leaders for ministry in parishes, schools and diocesan programs. Over three years, participants complete academic coursework in theology, spiritual formation, retreats, supervised ministry and pastoral skills training. Upon certification, they are equipped to serve more fully in roles such as catechists, liturgical ministers, pastoral associates and more.
This year’s graduates, from left, include Kathleen Reilly (Holy Faith, Gainesville), Scott Sheffield (Sacred Heart, Fleming Island), Margaret Michler (San Sebastian, St. Augustine), Brandon Green (Holy Faith, Gainesville) and Isabella Hoover (Epiphany, Lake City). Also pictured is Erin McGeever, director of Christian Formation and the Ministry Formation Program.
