The Blessed Stanley Rother Institute is excited to announce a grant opportunity for the parishes and schools of our archdiocese. In 2018, the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City began a partnership with the Franciscan University of Steubenville’s Catechetical Institute (www.FrancisanAtHome.com/archokc) to assist in the formation and certification of catechists, youth ministers, and catechetical leaders. Initial annual parish and school subscriptions to this online learning platform were funded by the archdiocese and offered to any parish desiring to begin using the Catechetical Institute.
For the 2020–2021 fiscal year, any Catholic parish or Catholic school unaffiliated with a parish wishing to initiate or continue a subscription to the Catechetical Institute may apply for a full grant of the annual subscription ($300.00) with the proviso that the parish or school receiving the grant will use the learning platform to form and certify staff and volunteers as required by the archdiocese. Schools affiliated with a parish are included in the parish subscription. The grant application can be completed online.
Parishes and schools receiving grant assistance should select “Invoice” for their subscription payment option. The Blessed Stanley Rother Institute will fund the grant directly with the Catechetical Institute.
