School of Christian Formation
WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR CATHOLIC FAITH?
The School of Christian Formation for the Diocese of Palm Beach is offering a series of classes and programs for adult Catholics who wish to learn more about the rich traditions of their faith. Each class meets from 7-9pm on Wednesday evenings for a total of six classes (twelve hours) taught during the Fall and Spring Semesters. You may attend individual courses for credit or follow the entire three-year program which concludes with the granting of a certificate of completion awarded by Bishop Barbarito at the school’s annual graduation ceremony. The Diocese strongly recommends these courses for all the faithful, especially those serving in liturgical, educational and spiritual ministries. The registration fee is $10 and textbooks range from $10 to $20 per course.
