Information for Deacon Inquirers

The Pontifical College Josephinum is pleased to serve the local Catholic community by offering courses for those interested in the Order of Deacon in the Roman Catholic Church.

In partnership with the Diocese of Columbus, the Josephinum has developed the prerequisite courses a candidate to the diocesan diaconate program must successfully complete before he begins the aspirancy year. These courses will be offered on Saturdays during the 2008-09 academic year.

The tuition is $600 for a three credit hour course. This tuition is the lowest in the area. If you have never taken a course at the Josephinum then there is also a $25 nonrefundable application fee. The necessary forms, as well as course descriptions, are linked below.

For more information, please contact the Registrar’s Office at the Pontifical College Josephinum via e-mail registrar@pcj.edu or by phone 614-985-2226. The registrar will then be able to explain more about the courses, the fees charged, the application process for the courses, and how to register. We look forward to welcoming you to campus as you discern your diaconate vocation, and we hope to help you fulfill your academic prerequisite requirement.
