St. John Vianney - Catechetical School

A Lay Division of St. John Vianney Theological Seminary

Mission:

The mission of the Catechetical School is to put people in contact and communion with the Person of Christ, who alone leads us to the heart of the Father in the Spirit – in essence making and maturing disciples.

We do this through a prayerful, organic and systematic presentation of the Word of God* in a setting that takes advantage of all the facets of effective adult learning: small group dynamics, independent study, personal application, and engaging lectures.

*The Word of God is contained both in Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition (CCC 80-82)

Quality Faculty:

All instructors have a Doctorate or Master's Degree in Theology, Sacred Scripture or other related field. They impart a love for God and neighbor, based on their commitment to authentic Church teaching.

Two Types of Classes:

Advanced Studies are in depth course consisting of 2 semesters, 28 weeks in length. Advanced Studies are Fall through Spring semester courses - September through April; 14 weeks per semester; meeting once a week for 2 hours at various locations throughout the Diocese of Denver.
