Institute of Salesian Spirituality (ISS)
The Institute of Salesian Spirituality (ISS) is an unincorporated
entity affiliated with the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology. The
ISS, located at 1831 Arch Street in Berkeley, offers a program of study and
formative experiences in the tradition of the Salesian Family of St. John Bosco.
The specific purpose of the Institute is to make a comprehensive renewal experience
available to members of the Salesian Family and to others whose background and
interests move them into areas of Christian education or youth ministry. Critical
study is integrated with experiences aimed at deepening spirituality and fostering
personal growth in the context of Salesian community life and ministry. The
process encourages the participants to deepen their appreciation for the founding
charism, spirit and story of the Salesian Family, and the distinctive qualities
of Salesian spirituality and mission.
Students enrolled in the ISS may participate in the program for personal enrichment
or may pursue an advanced degree in theology. DSPT awards the Certificate of
Theological Studies to ISS students who have completed twelve hours of graduate
study in theology for personal enrichment. Academic credit is given for completed
courses (which may later be applied to a degree program by determination of
the Admissions Committee). See Certificate of Theological Studies above for
details on the CTS program.
