About

The Mission for Catechesis is a Diocese of Shrewsbury initiative, in partnership with the Franciscan University of Steubenville, to help you KNOW God more, to LOVE Him more deeply and to SERVE your brothers and sisters in Christ. ​Through a combination of Resources, courses and community, individuals can grow their relationship with Jesus Christ and learn more about how to minister to those around them.  

Frequently Asked Questions

The Franciscan University of Steubenville and the Catechetical Institute

The Catechetics Program at Franciscan University of Steubenville exists to prepare students to join the "army of catechists" called for by the late Pope Saint John Paul II, eager to help the Church in her mission of making all nations disciples of Jesus Christ. We combine a thorough study of Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and magisterial documents with training in proper and effective pedagogical techniques to help our students grasp the intelligibility and coherence of divine truths, and to pass them along faithfully.
