By special agreement with the Diocese of Peoria,
    Christendom Graduate School offers a basic-level certificate,
    the “Initial Certificate for Peoria Catechists”
    upon completion of the following two courses,
    which are offered in conjunction with the
    Catholic Education Center, LLC.

    EDUC 630 (Teaching the Faith, part I) and
    EDUC 631 (Teaching the Faith, part II)
    are always available online and may be taken at any time
    according the student’s convenience, including the summer,
    without regard to semesters.

    EDUC 630: TEACHING THE FAITH, PART I: An introduction to
    Catholic religious education, including the ministry of catechetics,
    key Old and New Testament figures and events, the Creed and the
    seven Sacraments, based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church,
    with practical and creative ways to implement these teachings in a
    classroom.

    EDUC 631: TEACHING THE FAITH, PART II: A continuation of
    EDUC 630 focusing on the moral life (commandments, virtues, and
    beatitudes) and the life of prayer (with examination of several
    prayers and devotions throughout the liturgical year) and how to
    teach them.    The course concludes with the role of catechesis in the
    mission of Church as seen in the General Directory of Catechesis.

    Students do not need to take these courses for graduate credit in
    order to qualify for the initial certificate, although they must take them
    for graduate credit if they wish to apply them toward the Christendom
    Certificate and/or the MA degree.  Students who take them for credit
    may apply them towards teaching licensure.  Students who take
    these courses on an audit basis (not for graduate credit) and who
    later decide they want to apply them towards the  MA or
    Christendom Certificate may fulfill additional requirements in order
    to  receive graduate credit.

    Students may register for these courses at any time, and are
    expected to complete them within four months of registering. After
    completion, students who are Peoria Diocese Catechists may
    apply to the Sheen Foundation for partial reimbursement of
    tuition for these two courses.

    You will receive verification of your registration as well as a user
    name and password to enter the online classroom by email
    (please add us to your address book:
    catholiceducationcenter@yahoo.com) .
