The Diocesan School of
Theology is now registering students for the 2011-2012 academic year that

The Diocesan School
of Theology offers individuals in this and neighboring dioceses, an opportunity
for in-depth study in Scripture, Church History, Theology, and Liturgy. Classes
meet the third Saturday of the month, August through May, at the Bishop’s
Centre for Ministry on Youree Drive in Shreveport. Classes are open to all
who seek a greater knowledge of our shared faith. The program offers a solid
foundation for teachers in Christian formation programs, those engaged in
Bible study groups, and those seeking a study program to assist them in their
spiritual growth.
