ARCHDIOCESAN CATHOLIC BIBLICAL AND CATECHETICAL SCHOOLS

The Division of Lay Formation in Our Lady of the New Advent Theological Institute offers opportunities to adults for ongoing formation in faith and preparation for the lay apostolate at convenient locations throughout the Archdiocese. This Division currently includes the Archdiocesan Catechetical School and the Catholic Biblical School.

The Archdiocesan Catholic Biblical School was founded in 1982 to help adults in the Archdiocese of Denver learn to know, love and live Scripture. The Catholic Biblical School offers a program of in-depth Scripture study in the Catholic tradition. It provides both an understanding of the meaning of God's word and the application of its message to our lives today. The entire Bible is taught in the four-year program. The initial two-year program of Basic Biblical Studies covers only the foundational books of the Old Testament (year one) and of the New Testament (year two). The remaining books of both the Old and New Testaments are studied in the third and fourth years of the complete program. Call 303-715-3195 for information or visit the Archdiocese of Denver Web site.

The Catechetical School provides sound instruction in Catholic doctrine, Sacred Scripture, Christian living and catechetical methods, based upon Sacred Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the General Directory for Catechesis. These classes are open to all who are interested. Parish catechists and Catholic School educators can obtain archdiocesan certification through the Catechetical School. For information call 303-715-3101 or visit the Archdiocese of Denver Web site.
