Certificate in Studies in the Catechism.

(Previously Adult Studies in the Catechism)

Commences every Autumn

The Catechism is offered to all who wish to understand better the inexhaustible riches of salvation. It is a treasury of wisdom and spirituality, as well as providing the reliable reference point for understanding and appreciating the Catholic faith. This two-year, part-time, distance-learning course gives a thorough introduction to the teaching of the Catechism. The course can be studied at home on one's own, or as part of a local group. Three residential weekends each year support those undertaking the course.

Six course modules are studied, presenting a complete commentary on the teaching contained in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

  1. Faith and Revelation; the Creed: God the Father.
  2. The Creed: God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.
  3. Liturgy and Sacraments.
  4. Introduction to Morality.
  5. The Ten Commandments.
  6. Prayer.

A short piece of written work is presented at the end of each module, and the Certificate is awarded after the successful completion of all six modules.

Time Required.

This course requires about forty minutes study per day, five days a week.
