One aspect of adult education and faith formation which must be taken into account is the different ways in which people learn, and the different options there are to study and learn. Not everyone benefits from live presentations, or group studies the same; some need more independent venues, such as online learning.
The Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart recognizes the need for online resources that are both informative, engaging, and theologically sound. Our intention is to provide our parishioners with a variety of resources. Some online learning institutions require paid memberships, and some are free; it is the sole responsibility of the parishioner to read the policies very carefully before committing to a paid membership.
