Mission:

The mission of the Catechetical School is to put people in contact and communion with the Person of Christ, who alone can lead us to the heart of the Father in the Spirit – in essence making and maturing disciples.

We do this through a prayerful, organic and systematic presentation of the Word of God* in a setting that takes advantage of all the facets of effective adult learning: small group dynamics, independent study, personal application,
and engaging lectures.

*The Word of God is contained both in Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition (CCC 80-82)
