About Dorish Maru College
| Dorish Maru College is the Divine Word seminary, located in Melbourne Australia. We are committed to train Divine Word Missionaries, for the service of the local Church and overseas. The seminary is under the patronage of Saint Joseph Freinademetz, one of the first Divine Word Missionaries. Dorish Maru College is located on the campus of Yarra Theological Union. Currently we have nine seminarians from around the world (one is working at Santa Teresa Church, Via Alice Springs, Northern Territory), all training for the priesthood. Besides studying specific courses for ordination, every student is involved in pastoral ministry in the city, mainly on weekends. This outreach to the needy is required of every student at the College. The students are also responsible for preparing liturgy, including daily Mass and morning and evening prayer. Among the Recognized Teaching Institutions of the Melbourne College
of Divinity, the
Yarra Theological Union is acknowledged for the
many units it offers in Mission Studies. This is looked after by the
Society of the Divine Word and several SVDs are involved in the
program, including resident lecturers like
Lawrence Nemer,
Ennio
Mantovani,
Michael Nguyen,
Jacob Kavumkal,
associate lecturer like
John Prior, as well
as visiting lecturers like Stephen Bevans,
Felix Ferrer and others.
The Mission Studies Discipline assists Christian leaders in their
formation for ministry both in the Australian context as well as in
an inter-cultural context. Currently Jacob Kavumkal is the
coordinator of the program. |
