All fully initiated adult Catholics, those who have been baptized, have received Eucharist and have been confirmed, who want to learn and understand the Catholic Church's teachings, are invited to attend. Sessions begin in late Septembe, continue to Thanksgiving, resume in early January and continue through the first week of May, excluding spring break and Holy Week.
All sessions are two hours in length.
Those who finish the entire three years of study may choose to enter a fourth year which is individually supervised. Diocesan certification can be obtained upon completion of the fourth year, in a particular area of ministry. Participants may attend just one session or commit to the entire program. There is no charge for the program, other than materials offered for purchase at various sessions. Copyright Diocese of Austin, Texas.
