Learning from a distance in your own home!

The Virtual Learning Community for Faith Formation through the University of Dayton offers adults the opportunity to learn more about their Catholic faith in the comfort of their own homes by way of the internet. Each course is limited to fourteen participants so that there is a sense of community among the learners as they embark on a five-week experience of learning, reflecting, sharing and responding to questions designed to reinforce the readings, discussion boards and exercises that are required for successful completion of the course.

The Diocese of Des Moines is a “partner diocese” which means that the per course cost is reduced from $90.00 to $40.00 for people within the diocese. Additional costs may be required for texts for each course (usually no more than $20.00).

For a list of courses being offered from May 24 through June 27, please visit the Virtual Learning Community for Faith Formation website at http://vlc.udayton.edu/ , or contact Cheryl Fournier in the Office of Adult Faith Formation at 515-237-5006 or by email at cfournier@dmdiocese.org.
