El Programa de Catequesis de Franciscan University of Steubenville existe para preparar a alumnos para unirse al "ejército de catequistas" pedido por el difunto Papa San Juan Pablo II, aprendices entusiasmados por ayudar a la Iglesia en su misión de hacer discípulos de Jesucristo de todas las naciones.
