These

Fostering Faith Institute all over the Archdiocese of Chicago during the past five years.
For catechists, the process of formation leading to certification is a way of assuring
that growth in knowledge includes all aspects of Catholic belief and practice. It balances
increased knowledge with the skills needed in catechizing. The Fostering Faith
Process provides catechists with opportunities to participate in formation opportunities leading
to Archdiocesan certification.
