What is SPE/CPE ?
Supervised Pastoral Education (Clinical Pastoral Education - CPE) is an experience-based approach to learning ministry, which combines the practice of pastoral care giving with qualified supervision and group reflection. The program is open to clergy, theology students and lay persons with theology training. It aims to assist persons in achieving their full potential for ministry. Programs are offered at facilities throughout Canada, including general and psychiatric hospitals, correctional centres, parishes, and a variety of other locations. Each centre is connected to a theological college. Teaching supervisors are certified by the Canadian Association for Pastoral Practice and Education (CAPPE/ACPEP)
At the St. Catharines General Hospital Site, during summer months, students are usually involved for eight hours a day, five days a week over a 11 week period. During fall and winter months, students are offered programs on a two-day-per-week basis.
Training at this centre is accredited by and conducted in accordance with the standards of The Canadian Association for Pastoral Practice and Education. Most Divinity Colleges grant academic credit for a successfully completed CAPPE accredited CPE unit. Students should consult with their specific College if desiring credit towards fulfillment of a degree.
