Welcome to the Diocese of Colorado Springs’ landing page for

Franciscan University of Steubenville’s Catechetical Institute!

Franciscan University of Steubenville is known internationally for its fidelity to the teachings of the Catholic Church and is home to one of the largest catechetics faculty in the world. 

The Diocese of Colorado Springs has partnered with the Catechetical Institute to provide our parish and school staffs, ministry leaders, and parishioners with authentically Catholic resources and formation. Directors of Religious Education, Youth Ministers, Catechists, Catholic school principals and teachers, OCIA leaders, as well as parishioners are among those invited to unlimited access of the Catechetical Institute’s online workshops by signing up under your participating institution.

Participants can complete the workshops either individually or in groups settings. These workshops are taught by professors at Franciscan University and other experts in their field. Each workshop is designed to be interactive with an assigned mentor who will communicate regularly with the participant.

Should you have any questions, please contact Gary Niemerg at the diocese:
