Online
Theology Courses
As part of its effort to offer Adult Faith Formation in a
wide variety of formats, the diocesan Office of Christian
Formation has partnered with two noted Catholic universities
to make on-line theology courses available for discounted
tuition rates. On-line courses presented by both Notre
Dame University and the University of Dayton offer 15-18
courses available throughout the year.
The Adult Faith Formation Committee hopes that parish and
ministry leaders in all aspects of parish and institutional
life in particular will take advantage of this opportunity
to both deepen their personal faith and their understanding
of the Catholic tradition.
