Advanced Certificate in Catechesis

Program Description

The Certificate in Catechetics Program is designed to equip those seeking to respond to Christ´s call to "go and teach all nations" (cf. Mt. 28:19-20) with the skill, understanding, and formation necessary to bring the richness of the Catholic faith to others. More specifically, the program is designed for those involved in passing on our faith–RCIA team members, Catechism teachers, parents who wish to be better equipped to teach their children, and anyone simply wanting to deepen their own faith.
