Virtual Learning Community for Faith Formation
Since both dioceses already have an established contract with the University of Dayton, these courses are available to our teachers for $50 per course. These courses are taught in 5-week segments. Here is the link to the page on the Montana Catholic Schools website which provides the links and an explanation.
We (the Bishops and the principals) will be deciding this spring whether the Catechetical Certificate (6 courses) will be required or encouraged for all religion teachers.
Finally, recall that the Jubilee Year of Mercy begins on Tuesday, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. I have included another set of links below.
