      The Serra Catechetical Institute (SCI) is a one-year formation process for parish and Catholic school catechists, parents, and all adults who want to know their Catholic faith better and be able to hand it on more effectively. Participants will receive a solid introduction to the Catholic faith in 60 hours of basic catechetical formation, including:

      • Spiritual development (our own relationship with Jesus),
      • Doctrinal formation (sacraments, creed, and morality), and
      • Catechetical process and methodology (how to teach the faith).

      Students who complete the program will be eligible to receive the Basic California Catechist Certificate.
