Adult Education
In the digital age, opportunities abound for learning more about
our Catholic faith. The website for the Archdiocese of St.
Louis has many resources and links. The St. Louis Review
offers great inspirational and informational reading as well as
online content. The
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
provides important pastoral messages and programs on topics from
Life Issues to the Defense of
Marriage to the new Roman Missal (Mass Prayers)
to be introduced later this year. You can go directly to the Vatican website and hear Pope
Benedict XVI 's weekly address at St. Peter's.
If you wish to pursue an academic course of study, Paul
VI Institute is open to all with special scholarships for our
teachers. If you would like to learn more about your faith, or if
you are looking to become Catholic, our Rite of
Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) has programs each year in
the winter and spring.
