We want to help all Parishioners across the Diocese of Shrewsbury grow deeper in their faith

Here in the Diocese of Shrewsbury we are embarking on an exciting partnership with the Franciscan University of Steubenville. Together we hope to "fan into flame the gift of God" (2 Timothy 1:6) throughout Parishes and inspire all those tasked with the formation of others. We are all called to know God better, so as to love God better which leads us to serve God better in all our various ways. 

It is the life-long task of all Christians to deepen their knowledge of Christ and hope in eternal life. 
​St John Paul II

​We want to help Catechists become the best Catechists they can be. To help catechists, we provide resources, courses, and community. This we do by offering one-to-one mentoring through certificated courses, for entry into a Diocesan Guild of Catechists, and by offering open roadshow days in locations through the Diocese.
