BASIC Plan

In an attempt to bring substance, simplicity and manageability to the Catechist Certification program the following outlines are the courses required at each level of certification. Remember, catechists will not lose certification and the basic and specialist courses will be brought into each parish seeking catechist formation. These courses or workshops are lined up with national standards as outlined by the USCCB.
