Learn Spanish and Experience Hispanic Culture

June 7 - July 19, 2008

ACCOMMODATIONS:
 
Participants will be housed in a beautiful and spacious retreat center, the Casa Marquez Octavio Paz in Puebla. Rooms and private baths, library, computer lab, internet access, chapel, classrooms, terraces and playing fields provide an ideal setting for the program.
 
 
SPIRITUAL EXERCISES:
 
Daily Mass, the Divine Office, and the rosary will be provided daily in Spanish. There will also be opportunities for days of recollection, confession, and other devotional practices.
 
MISSION:
 
An excursion will be organized so that participants can accompany University students to a Catholic mission to some of the poorest of the poor in the Sierra Madre.

 
PARISH INVOLVEMENT:
 
The Archbishop of Puebla has appointed a priest of the archdiocese to assist in placing program participants in parishes when their Spanish has reached an adequete level of competence.
 
COSTS:
 
$3,800 for Language Instruction, Language Books, History and Cultural Instruction, Tours, Room and Board. Participants are responsible for travel expenses to Mexico City. We suggest approximately $600 to $900 for personal expenses (toiletries, dining out, souvenirs, etc.).
 
SCHOLARSHIPS:
 
In the past, the Institute has been able to provide partial scholarships for priests, deacons, religious and seminarians from mission dioceses. We hope that we will be able to continue the practice this coming summer. If you are from a mission diocese, be sure to enquire about the mission scholarships when you apply."
