MTSM Announces 2021-2022 Pastoral Internships

Mount St. Mary’s Seminary & School of Theology (MTSM) announces the Pastoral Internships for seminarians for the 2021-2022 academic year.

This year nine men will participate in an internship program from August through May. Interns have completed II Theology and typically have been in formation for two to six years. Depending on the requirements of their individual diocese or religious order, seminarians take part in a year-long full immersion experience in a parish as part of their formation.

“The pastoral internships provide seminarians opportunities to engage in the life of a parish, gain hands-on experience working with parishioners and to further discern their vocation as future priests,” said Rev. Chris Geiger, Director of Apostolic Works & Internship Program at MTSM.

Below are the 2021-2022 pastoral interns and the parishes where they will serve:

Brice Berger, Guardian Angels Parish, Cincinnati, Ohio
Adam Berning, Our Lady of the Valley Parish, Cincinnati, Ohio
Stephen Codekas, St. Mary Parish, Bethel, Ohio and St. Peter Parish, New Richmond, Ohio
