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 July 29, August 19, and September 23 from 9am-4pm. Each class will be offered in person or online (please select your preference for each class below).  For those attending in person lunch will be provided, please plan accordingly.
