“LIM provided me with a fantastic learning experience and environment. I was energized and challenged by the curriculum, professors, and fellow LIM students. The online learning experience allowed me to pursue my desire for advanced learning related to my faith. This was an important step in my ongoing faith journey. I've taken my LIM experience and continue to apply it to my professional and personal life through ministering to those God places in my life.”
"It has been an exciting journey since I embarked on the MPS program with LIM. I enjoyed the robust discussions online and the exchange of experiences with my course mates and instructors. The program is flexible, and I am able to continue my full time work as a pastoral worker in the Archdiocese of Singapore. In fact, I am able to take what I have learned in the program and apply it to the work that I am doing straight away! I have also discovered that while we may be divided by time zones, some of our pastoral issues and concerns are very similar.
