About MACC
Our Mission
MACC’s mission is to empower and educate leaders for
service in a culturally diverse Church and society by of-
fering a biliterate, multicultural formation program that
can lead to a BA and MA degree in Pastoral Ministry.
MACC’s mission is accomplished through the following
core purposes:
• To offer biliterate, educational and ministry forma-
tion programs –including language and cultural
studies – that meet the pastoral priorities of the Cath-
olic Church especially for leadership in Hispanic
Ministry;
• To conduct interdisciplinary research, publish re-
sources, and provide certificates in specialized train-
ing and continuing education;
• To confer post-secondary degrees of higher educa-
tion in religious studies, namely Bachelor of Arts
and Master of Arts degrees in Pastoral Ministry, that
are offered consistent with the teachings of the Mag-
isterium of the Roman Catholic Church, and in ac-
cordance with the exemption granted by the State of
Texas from Chapter 132.002(a)(2) of the Texas Educa-
tion Code;
• To provide other educational and charitable services
that meet the strategic goals set by the Board of Trustees and that continue MACC’s historical com-
mitment to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Church’s teachings on the sacredness of human life,
peace, justice, respect for cultural diversity, and public policies that promote the common good.

About MACC
Conference of Catholic Bish-
ops (USCCB), and the Holy See.
In the Spirit of Ex Corde Eccle-
siae and the USCCB’s published
guidelines for its implementa-
tion, MACC requires all faculty
who teach “Catholic theological
disciplines” to seek a manda-
tum from the Archbishop of San
Antonio, to sign a profession of
faith, and to pledge an oath of fi-
delity as suggested by the motu
proprio issued by John Paul II in
the Apostolic Letter Ad tuendam
