Catechist Formation & Certification
Certification provides catechists with the knowledge, skills and abilities needed to communicate the Gospel message effectively.
The applications for certification, (which have the certification applications for basic, specialized, as well as for Master Catechist certification) may be found in the Catechist Certification Guidelines, which are attached below.
Please note, that the applications are for Catechists only. Catholic School teachers must use a different application, which can be obtained from the Office of Catholic Schools.
