The Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life opens registration for the Online e-Studium Course, a training course in Magisterium, Canonical Norms and Practices of Consecrated Life directed to consecrated persons. The course, which has a tradition of more than 60 years, is taught entirely online with lectures in Italian and simultaneous translation into English, Spanish and French.

The educational program is divided into two complementary areas: The Interdisciplinary Area, which offers a theological, historical and liturgical study of consecrated life, offering an in-depth understanding of its ecclesial identity and significance.

The Canonical Norms and Praxis Area, on the other hand, which focuses on the legal aspects of consecrated life and presents the different forms of consecrated life recognized by the Church, highlighting their common foundation and canonical specificities. Particular attention is given to an in-depth study of current issues such as vocation discernment, formation, economic management of goods, mission and fraternal life.
