History
<blockquote>In addition to educating future clergymen, our Pastoral School offers opportunities for those not seeking ordination, both men and women, who would like to learn more about their faith. We strongly urge Church School teachers, catechists, and others for whom such theological education would be useful to participate in the Pastoral School courses.</blockquote>
December 9, 2015 With the blessing of Bishop Peter of Cleveland the Pastoral School will henceforth be named in honor of St [[John of Kronstad]]t. As is well known, St John struggled greatly with his studies as a youth, but after a miraculous divine intervention, became an excellent student with high marks in both seminary and academy. The Pastoral School will adopt as its patronal feast day December 20/ January 2<ref>http://synod.com/synod/eng2015/20151209_enchicagoschool.html</ref>.
