As a diocese, we are called on a mission to lead others into an encounter with Christ. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways and in a unique way through catechesis. In order to equip those who serve as catechists for such a task, they need to be empowered and the grace within them needs to be stirred. Welcome to Lead to Encounter a diocesan catechist formation program faithful to the teaching of the church and conscious of today’s society. For more information on this program contact the Office of Faith Formation and Evangelization 308-382-6565 x220
The Diocese of Grand Island has partnered with Franciscan University of Steubenville's Catechetical Institute. With a paid subscription, parishes or individuals are able to take advantage of all the online workshops that are beneficial for a variety of ministries. Whether you minister to children, youth, or adults, there is a workshop for you. This is a great follow up to the diocesan's Lead to Encounter formation program.
The Institute of Catholic Culture is a free adult catechetical organization, faithful to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church, and dedicated to the Church’s call for a new evangelization. We believe that genuine transformation and formation in the faith occurs not simply through receiving educational content but through participation.
