ADULT FAITH (Catechist) FORMATION OPPORTUNITIES:
Our diocese has just subscribed to a massively helpful new outreach by the Catechetical Institute at Franciscan University of Steubenville. We are now able to offer mentor-based online formation for every person in ministry – clergy, catechists, school teachers, youth ministers, adult group leaders, volunteers, even (and especially) parents. It is free to all, with unlimited access. This program provides the most in-depth and faithful array of formative workshops ever created. With 130+ workshops available, we are now able to thoroughly train and spiritually nurture you in passing on the faith.
