Overview
Bishop Folda has called for the development of the Catholic Formation Initiative in order to provide needed on-going formation to adults. Under CFI, you will find a variety of resources for adults to learn more about their faith.
For those who pass on the faith to our youth, you will find links to formal certificate programs through the Franciscan University Institute and the Dominicans Sisters of St. Joseph below.
Catholic Faith and Culture classes, open to anyone, held twice a year at Maryvale Retreat Center. See below for more info.
We also offer a Lending Library and the SENT podcast and video series. There is something for everyone!
