Catechetical Institute
About the Catechetical Institute
The Catechetical Institute offers opportunities for all adults to grow in the Catholic faith. It also serves as a pastoral formation program for educators in the faith (parish catechists, Catholic school teachers, homeschooling parents).
The Catechetical Institute offers courses in two learning formats:
- Onsite courses are available at selected sites in each deanery. These courses are offered in both English and Spanish.
- Online courses are available through our partnership with the University of Dayton Virtual Learning Community program http://vlc.udayton.edu and with the University of Notre Dame Satellite Theological Education program http://step.nd.edu
The Catechetical Institute will help you:
- deepen your relationship with Jesus Christ and the Church.
- become certified as 1) a catechist and 2) a catechetical leader by increasing your understanding of the faith and your skills to communicate it.
- respond to the Good News of Jesus Christ and teach others through word, witness, worship and service.
