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.
