Study the Catechism in a Year

Study the Catechism in a Year
The ‘Catechism in a Year’ podcast from Ascension Press is wildly popular, and we love it.

But it’s only a first step. When he was with us, Cardinal Ratzinger called the Catechism a ‘manual for happiness.’ The beauty of the Catechism is that it can be continually read, prayed and studied.

That’s what we do here at the ICT; we offer the next step by reading, praying and studying the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Over an academic year, we study the text of the Catechism, deepen our understanding of the Lord’s plan for our lives, and enjoy times of fellowship with Catholics from throughout Arizona and abroad.

Courses To Take
We cover the entire Catechism in two semester-length courses:

In the Fall, we cover the first two sections of the Catechism (the Creed and sacraments) in our ‘Foundations of Catholicism’ course (ICT 101).

In the Spring, we cover the last two sections of the Catechism (morality and prayer) in our ‘Christian Moral Principles’ course (ICT 103).

These courses allow the student to be guided in deeper study, have their questions answered, interact with students and professors, and deepen their love for Christ.

Participants can start in either the Fall or Spring course.

84 hours of continuing education are available for Catholic school teachers, deacon and catechists (42 hours for each semester).
