The Franciscan University of Steubenville is known internationally for its fidelity to the teachings of the Catholic Church and is home to one of the largest catechetics faculty in the world.
The Catechetical Institute (FranciscanAtHome.com) has partnered with the Altum Institute and the Department of Catholic Education to offer online workshops leading toward Archdiocesan Basic Certification and ministry-focused Archdiocesan Intermediate and Advanced Certification for Catholic School Teachers, Administrators, Faculty, and Staff.
Participants can complete workshops from the Catechetical Institute either through in-person group settings across the archdiocese or individually online.
Through the generosity of the donors to the Annual Catholic Appeal, the Altum Institute is able to offer the Franciscan at Home platform to all Catholic schools of the Archdiocese at no cost. (This includes any parishioners at a parish that hosts a school). All of the faithful at these Schools can register their free individual accounts under their Parish/School.
Catechetical Institute online workshops are taught by professors of the University and other experts in their field. Each workshop is designed to be interactive with an assigned local mentor here in the Archdiocese, who will communicate regularly with participants pursuing certification.
