The faith of adults must be continually enlightened, developed, and protected so that it may acquire that Christian wisdom which gives sense, unity, and hope to the many experiences of personal, social and spiritual life.
(General Directory for Catechesis, USCC, 1997)

Foundations Courses
The Catholic Church today is emphasizing the need for life-long faith formation. The need for educated and well skilled adults to serve in our Church continues to grow. The Greco Institute is offering a series of 8 week courses covering the foundational teachings of faith. The content of these courses is intended to provide a balanced presentation of that is...
Catholic based in the fundamental teachings of the Catholic Church;
Comprehensive includes a synthesis of the major areas of Catholic doctrine;
Reflection-Oriented participants search for deeper ways to understand their faith;
Action-Oriented participants explore how they are called to live out their faith;
Transformative studies the content of faith, which leads to a deeper relationship with God.

The Foundations Courses presume no previous study of theology and are designed for new students. These six courses introduce students to theological reflection and provide the concepts necessary for more advanced study.
