In today’s episode, I had a conversation with Father Sam Kachuba, a pastor, a podcaster and one of our Partner Mentors at CatholicPsych.

We share our insights on priesthood formation and the significance of CatholicPsych’s Certification Program’s Capstone Project. We explore the differences between traditional academic programs and hands-on certification.

We also talk about the challenges that priests encounter, and their need for proper support, and mentorship to guide them in their personal growth and healing, self-awareness, and emotional readiness. We emphasize the importance of providing priests with comprehensive formation programs that can develop their skills in pastoral ministry, spiritual direction and mental health support.
