As part of the pastoral formation program, two annual homiletic workshops (five days each) are given for men in their second and third years of formation. These two classes prepare 18 practice homilies for small groups of classmates and faculty priests. The fourth-year deacons preach 12 or more homilies during the year. They preach for three English-speaking parishes and five American university campuses in or near Rome, as well as for the College Masses. Finally, during their summer assignments, the seminarians have the opportunity for teaching or preaching if they are ordained deacons.
