The mission of the education and consulting services provided by the Education Department staff, in conjunction with SLI's clinical staff, is to foster the healthy psycho-spiritual development and well-being of women and men who serve the Church both in the U.S. and abroad.

Our goal is to provide affordable and accessible learning opportunities that will:

• offer personal support to persons in leadership in congregations, dioceses,
  and the helping professions;
• assist religious and clergy to live more fully and healthily;
• assist newer members in their transition to community and diocesan life; and
• promote a healthy and realistic understanding of the life, needs, and/or
  problems of clergy and religious.

Saint Luke Institute also manages the list-serve for the Conference of Major Superiors of Men (CMSM) and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) Vicars for Clergy.

After 12 years of service as Director of Education and the Editor of Lukenotes, Sr. Lynn M. Levo, CSJ, Ph.D., has concluded her full-time ministry at Saint Luke Institute.  Lynn will continue to minister as a consulting psychologist, offering workshops and presentations in the USA and abroad. Lynn will continue to affiliate with both Saint Luke Institute in Silver Spring, MD, and St. Luke’s Centre in Manchester, England, sharing her expertise in selected workshops.

The readers of Lukenotes have benefited not only from Sr. Lynn’s talent as a psychologist, but also from her ability to bring out the best in other experts.  As editor, Lynn has provided inestimable guidance and support to all those who have contributed to Lukenotes over the last several years.
