Joining together for Evening Prayer and "treats" (to quote Fr.
Tiano), hundreds of youth and adults came together at St. Jerome's in
New Britain yesterday to celebrate achievements in Youth Ministry,
Discipleship, Service in Catechesis, and (my fave) Biblical Studies.
The Basic Certificate requires 144 hours (a very biblical number!) of in-class work, plus an average of 6-7 hours of self-study each week, for two years.
