1. New Graduate School of Biblical Theology
JP Catholic has just announces the creation of a Graduate School of Biblical Theology that will begin offering a Masters of Arts degree starting in September
2009. The program offers a unique integration of the various branches of theology with a heavy concentration in the study of Sacred Scripture.
Pope Benedict XVI has frequently stressed the need for a biblically based approach to theology. This scriptural focus has been the hallmark of his own work
and it provides a model for contemporary Catholic Biblical Theology. The School has two primary aims: to train students for the work of evangelization and
to prepare students to engage in scholarship. The MA degree can be completed in 2 years of full-time study and 3-years of part-time study.

8. Scholarship funding required for students with financial need
We are currently seeking critical scholarship support for students with significant financial need.
There are a handful of current students who will not be able to continue their education at JP Catholic without this additional financial support. Please call
Dr Connolly at 858-653-5740 if you are able to fund a scholarship in any amount.
If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you would say to (this) mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey
you. Luke 17:6
