To better service  Catechists and Catholic school teachers,  the Diocese of Pittsburgh will be adopting a new platform for Catechetical Certification with many advantages the current programs cannot offer.  Given that time is required for transferring from the old system to the new, the targeted launch date is set for Spring of 2020. 
During the interim, those Catechists and Catholic school teachers who wish to continue their formation may do so online through "My Catholic Faith Delivered".  Click here for this interim online Catechetical Certification.  The Diocese wishes that this information be distributed to all of Catechists for their information.  

The All Hazards and Active Shooter Training presented by Officer Aaron Vanatta at our annual business meeting last month was received enthusiastically by our attendees. If you were not able to be there, a make-up session will be held on Monday, January 20, from 9:00am-12:30pm at St. Paul's Seminary (O'Connor Hall).  Lunch is included.  RSVP by January 10 by this link. Catechetical administrators, pastors, youth ministers, school chaplains, Catholic school principles and college campus ministers are welcome to attend at no cost under a special grant for these leaders. Other interested school or parish staff may attend for a fee of $30/person.
