Piarist Ministries As a seminarian progresses through his theology studies, he will receive two ministries: Lector and Acolyte. These two ministries provide him with an opportunity to practice some of the liturgical functions of our Church. As a Piarist seminarian progresses through his studies, he will receive two additional ministries: Care for the Poor and Christian Education. These two ministries refer to a Piarist’s fourth vow of educating the young, particularly the poor.
