Center for Evangelization & Catechesis

Mission Statement

The Aquinas College Center for Evangelization and Catechesis supports the work of catechists and leaders by providing workshops, retreats, and directed study of the Catholic Faith. Rooted in the Dominican charism of contemplative study and preaching, the Center trains parents, teachers, and parish volunteers in an approach to catechesis that engages both the mind and heart.
