Courses
All of the courses offered in partnership with the Franciscan University of Steubenville are available online. The courses are easy to access and consist of a whole range of multimedia and discussion questions to assist you in your study. One of the key elements of your study will be your personal mentor. Through this personal relationship you will journey through the course with support and encouragement.
The Catechetical Institute at Franciscan University exists to train and support the key catechists in any situation—priests, deacons, parents, or laity, whether professional or volunteer. Through conferences, online workshops, videos, audio, personal mentorship, and a wealth of resources produced by Franciscan University, all involved in the work of catechesis will find new ideas, new approaches, new techniques, and a new confidence to do the work of catechesis.
