Exciting News: Every parish in the diocese has a free subscription for one year!
The Diocese of Sioux City has officially partnered with Franciscan University's Catechetical Institute. Launched in 2016, the Franciscan University Catechetical Institute seeks to serve Christ and his Church by forming those Catholics entrusted with the formation of others. This includes priests, deacons, and parents, as well as lay ecclesial ministers, teachers, religious, and parish catechists. Through conferences, online courses, personal support, mentoring, and new catechetical resources, the Catechetical Institute makes the riches of the Catholic faith more available and accessible to clergy and lay catechists alike.
Expert faculty and experienced lay mentors work in close partnerships with both dioceses and catechists, offering individualized formation tools designed to meet a variety of catechetical needs.
Normally a parish subscription costs $300 per year. We are grateful for the generosity of Franciscan University of Steubenville in collaborating with the Diocese of Sioux City to be able to provide every parish with an opportunity to utilize this great platform at no charge.
In keeping with the goal of Bishop Nickless to strengthen catechesis by providing the best formation possible, we are excited to be able to provide the faithful of the Church of Northwest Iowa the opportunity to learn, explore, and further their learning experience about the riches the Church has to offer in a number of ministry environments and settings across our diocese, as well as hand on the faith in all its fullness in an effective way.
Follow the link to go to our diocesan landing page. Once there, simply scroll down, and on the right side, under "Register Online.” Then click the second box that reads, "My Parish or School is already registered..." Follow the prompts from there, beginning with selecting your parish location.
