  •       Sacred Heart Guadalupe --Kansas City--Thursdays  7:00 - 9:00pm

 

   

    

 

Other locations may be added if numbers in a parish or region justify adding another class.  

Each course will be taught at each site.  The courses will be taught consecutively rather than simultaneously. That is, Spiritual Life I will be taught at all the sites for a number of weeks and, once that is finished, will be followed by Biblical Foundations, and so on.  

One may sign up for the three-year curriculum (including retreats and workshops) or any individual course can be taken on its own.  

Online courses will be available as well for those who cannot travel to the sites.
