Catholic
Curriculum This series is offered on a cycle and takes
place each year. It is designed to give serious and interested
persons an orderly presentation of the faith over a period of four
years. One could enter at any time in the Stanford experience and
follow the essentials of Catholic Sacramental Theology, Sacred
Scripture, Doctrinal issues and, finally, the principles and
applications of the Moral teaching of the Church. While these
courses are not taken for academic credit, there will be ways that
recognition can be given and applied to a certificate or "license"
to teach religious education in local parishes and centers. The
faculty will be taken from our staff, local theologians,
University faculty and graduate students in theology from the
Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley. This year's course will
deal with Catholic Scripture.
What Catholics Believe
This course is offered
annually as a general introduction or overview of the Catholic
faith. It is ordinarily offered during either autumn or
winter quarter.
Faith Formation for Children All members of our
Stanford Catholic comunity are welcome to participate in our
Family Intergenerational Religious Education (F.I.R.E.)
program. Participants gather in small intergenerational
communities of 5 or 6 households where people of all ages
learn about our faith together. The F.I.R.E. program is our
faith formation experience for the children in our community.
For more information and registration,
contact Chaplain Catherine Wolff.
The Bishop Pierre DuMaine Lectures The late
Professor Kurt Reinhardt left a gift in his estate to the
Catholic Community to provide for public lectures. There will
ordinarily be one such lecture each term: Autumn, Winter and
Spring. The series honors the first bishop of the Catholic
Diocese of San Jose, The Most Rev. Pierre DuMaine, Ph.D. It
was Bishop DuMaine who established the Catholic ministry at
Stanford as a freestanding personal parish of the San Jose
Diocese.
