The Mater Ecclesiae is interested in current or frontier religious and cultural issues, in order to foster mutual understanding between Christians, between them and those belonging to other religions, between believers and people who are in search of the truth. Therefore, in addition to the courses provided for the formation of men and women religious, catechists, pastoral workers, courses of ongoing formation and/or theological-pastoral updating, or of an intercultural or interreligious nature, are offered.
