Catechetics
Catechetics is the education of all ages in our Roman Catholic faith. In our diocese, families may choose enrollment in parish catechetical classes or a home study option. Information on classes is available from the parishes: click here for parish details or contact our catechetical coordinator for the contact name and number for your parish.
Our diocese uses the Finding God catechetical program from Loyola Press. This program offers learning resources for students, families, pastors and parishes.

Adult Faith Formation
Each of us as an individual has been blessed with our own heart, mind, and free will.
Emmaus Centre supports your individual journey of faith with workshops, retreats, audio, and video recordings, books, and study guides. Our catechetical coordinator and Resource Room staff are available to answer questions, locate resources, and above all provide a friendly voice to remind you that you are not alone.
