This Virtual Gathering Space is offered to anyone involved in Catechesis throughout the Archdiocese of Los Angeles during this time of COVID-19 disruption. It is a space for us to maintain our conversations, share our experiences, and offer support and encouragement to one another.

The Catholic Bible Institute is a comprehensive, three-year Bible study program: one year focuses on the Old Testament, one year on the New Testament, and a third year on biblical themes, along with practical skills for facilitating Bible-based programs in parishes. The goal of CBI is growth in missionary discipleship of Jesus Christ through the Bible. CBI participants study the Word of God according to Catholic principles, connect the Word with life, and pray with the Word.
