The University of Dayton
Catechist Formation Program

The Catechist Formation Program is designed for Catholic school teachers, catechists and other interested adults who want to grow in their understanding of the Catholic faith. 

Participants read and discuss a series of articles prepared by faculty at the University of Dayton (OH) and published each month during the school year in Catechist Magazine.  This is a convenient and affordable way for teachers, catechists, parents and grandparents to increase their knowledge, enrich their faith, and discover new ways to pass on faith to their students, children or grandchildren.

A continuing education unit (CEU) or graduate credit is available to participants from the University of Dayton.
