The Sharing of the Gospel with non- Catholics is the essence of our Christian mission of evangelization. but how do we do this as teachers in Catholic schools, without sidelining our Catholic students, while preserving our schools’ Cahtolic identity? Can it be done?
The Loyola Institute for Ministry Extension Program (LIMEX), offered by the Archdiocese of Louisville and Loyola University New Orleans, is accepting adult students for a new learning cohort to begin coursework in the fall.
LIMEX offers master’s degrees and graduate certificates in theology and ministry, and continuing education credentials.
“It’s really designed for anyone who wants to learn about their faith on a deeper level. And it gives them the background to do ministry,” said Art Turner, director of the Archdiocese of Louisville’s Office of Faith Formation. “It’s also meant to be a help for people who would like to work for the church and someone who can’t do a traditional program.”
Have you thought about attending the Parish Catechetical Leadership Insititue, July 14-18, 2019? The registraiton deadline is June 15th. Financial assistance is available for PCLs in the Archdiocese of Louisville through our office.

…we have compiled the following summary of RCIA facts. You might call it a bishop’s “cheat sheet” of sorts. Some points may already be familiar, and others might come as a surprise. Some might affirm your current diocesan practice, while others may invite you to take another look at the rite. In any case, we hope this list can be helpful to you, your seminarians and other leaders in formation, and to those you have delegated to steward and oversee the initiation process in your parishes, schools, and communities.
