All clergy are expected to engage in a least 30 hours of professional supervision in each three-year cycle. 12 of these hours are mandated; the other 18 are elective.
The Diocese funds the cost of the mandatory components; parishes may wish to make a financial contribution towards the cost of the elective hours of Professional Development.
