The University Series 2023
The University Series is a multi-parish, adult-education program that challenges parishioners to make a major commitment of time to attend a large number of classes during the season of Lent. All classes are non-accredited and are presented for the purpose of spiritual and personal growth.
The University Series offers sessions connecting faith with real life in areas such as contemporary moral issues, marriage & family, evangelization, church history, scripture, prayer and other priorities set by the Archdiocesan Synod. The University Series uses the vocabulary of education to convey the sense of learning, as well as the personal effort needed for growth.
