In a culture that often reduces the significance of human love and sexuality and provides “depersonalized, recreational and often pessimistic information” (Truth and Meaning of Human Sexuality, 1), parents struggle to give their children an adequate education regarding the true meaning of sexuality.
These classes offer the wisdom of the Church to parents, catechists, and teachers for education in human love and sexuality, in particular, incorporating St. John Paul II’s catechesis on human love which helps us to understand the human person in a way so radically different from the current culture.
Classes will take place on June 25-27 from 9am-4pm. Each class will be offered in person or online (please select your preference for each class below). There will be a one-hour break for lunch, but lunch will not be provided. You can either pack a lunch and eat it at the parish, or you can plan to go out to eat.
Enrollment in these classes does not constitute enrollment in the certification process. Please see the Requirements and Steps for Completion. Attendance will be verified in order to receive credit for the completed class, all three classes are required to complete the certification. If you are not seeking the certification you do not have to attend all the courses.
