A significant amount of our programming is dedicated to the growth and development of those who minister in a formal way in the Roman Catholic school community. It is essential that the teacher of religion have both the theological content and the spiritual motivation “to teach as Jesus did.” Hence, dioceses adopt basic standards on which their teachers will be certified. These certificate programs are designed to comply with each diocese's specific standards. Each of the programs listed below is offered in multiple locations, both fall and spring semesters.
