    CERTIFICATE IN CATHOLIC THEOLOGY
    "Truth, by its nature, seeks to be communicated since man was created for the perception of truth and from the depths of his being desires knowledge of it so that he can discover himself in the truth and find there his salvation (cf. 1 Tim 2:4)."
      • Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith, Donum Veritatis
    • The Certificate in Catholic Theology is an eight-month program that provides the essential Catholic theological framework to understand the faith more fully. It provides the necessary vocabulary to explain, and defend the Catholic faith. It is an opportunity to learn and grow in discipleship, and discover the beauty of the Church’s intellectual tradition. The sessions are taught, one Saturday per month, by experienced professors and practitioners.
