Deepen Your Faith Through Theology

Posted on August 25, 2025 in: Around the Diocese

Deepen Your Faith Through Theology

Lay persons are invited to study theology, not only to prepare well for engaging in the New Evangelization, but also because understanding Doctrine and Scripture is important to grow in a knowledge and love for Christ and His Church, which is at the heart of all authentic evangelizing efforts.

Are you looking to deepen your understanding of your faith? Are you intellectually curious? Do you want to strengthen your knowledge of Catholic Theology?

In today’s world, many people are seeking moral and philosophical guidance and want to connect more deeply with God and the Church as adults. Catholic theology offers both intellectual and practical insights that appeal to devout believers and seekers of the truth alike.

The Catholic Theology Certificate Program—offered by Dr. Robert White, founding director of the Académie Cor Iesu in Paray-le-Monial, France, and visiting Adjunct Professor of Theology at Providence College—provides that opportunity.

Saint Agnes Church, Niantic
Wednesday evenings, 6–8 p.m.

Dr. White will present a series of eight, four-week modules beginning in September. The full program participation fee is $800, but it is also possible to audit individual lectures or modules.

For a detailed flyer, visit www.saintagnescatholicchurch.com and click on the parish bulletin to learn more about the eight modules, program schedule, and required reading materials.

Registration is required: contact@coriesu.com
