The St. Paul Center for Theology and Prayer
Forming Disciples of Jesus in every congregation
The St. Paul Center for Theology and Prayer (TSPC) is a partnership in the Diocese of Massachusetts, both “housed” at the Cathedral Church of St. Paul in Boston and with regional centers at St. Paul’s Church in Newburyport and St. Thomas's Church in Taunton, along with an online presence.
The St. Paul Center for Theology and Prayer focuses on three fundamental avenues:
- continued theological education for priests and deacons;
- theological training and spiritual formation for lay leaders, including for lay-licensing programs; and
- coming alongside lay and ordained people, as they discern a deeper and more attentive life of prayer and discipleship.
Our diocese is rich with resources for forming disciples: excellent Christian educators, creative program designers, wise mentors, monastic communities, seminary programs and much more. The St. Paul Center for Theology and Prayer seeks to lift up what is already in our midst so that it can be found and accessed by all. It recognizes that theological and spiritual formation happens every day at the local level, which is why the aim of the center is not just to offer one-off events or educational opportunities, but to resource congregations, helping them flourish as local communities of learning and prayer.
