As part of LMU Extension, the Center embodies Loyola Marymount's commitment to serve the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles, other local churches, religious groups, and the general public through the development of diverse programs related to religion and spirituality, faith and justice. The Center sponsors a variety of continuing education courses, certificate programs, lectures and workshops in the religion, ministry and spirituality; all designed for the professional development, religious education, and/or personal enrichment of various groups of people: religious professionals and pastoral volunteers, clergy and laity, Catholics and other Christians, members of other world religions and anyone seeking religious understanding and/or spiritual growth.

On this site, you will find information about our Spring 2010 offerings and registration. Please scroll down and view our course offerings by subject, or visit the LMU Extension course catalog online.
