Study the Catechism in a Year

  • $150.00

    ICT 103 - Christian Moral Principles - Spring 2025

    In our Study the Catechism in a Year program, we read, pray and study the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Over an academic year, we study the text of the Catechism, deepen our understanding of the Lord’s plan for our lives, and enjoy times of fellowship with Catholics from throughout Arizona and abroad. This Spring, we cover the last two sections of the Catechism (morality and prayer) in our 'Christian Moral Principles' course (ICT 103). Missed the Fall course? No problem – you can start here!

Welcome from the Director

Welcome to the Institute of Catholic Theology. It is our pleasure to serve you. Our goal at the Institute is to help strengthen your life in Christ through intellectual formation. In Romans 12:2, St. Paul urges us to “be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Our hope here is that we can assist you in that process. We offer conferences, live courses, online courses and in-person support for those in Franciscan University of Steubenville’s online Masters of Theology and the Masters of Catechetics and Evangelization programs. So whether you are new to the faith or a veteran, we are here to support.

In the meantime, sign up for my Weekly Scripture Reflections, meant to help you prepare for the Sunday Gospels. There’s no charge - just sign up and they will come right to your email!
