Introductory Catechist Videos for Weekly Lessons

Students in the CIC1 and CIC2 classes receive a paper textbook and are taught fully via live Zoom. Students in all other classes use the “Spirit of Truth” Digital Student Portal and, each week, will:

  1. Watch their class video on their own time, at least 2 days before the live Zoom session. Be sure to watch the right one! Catechist Intro videos are important and are part of the session content. They will be available for a time on this site. The most recent videos will appear at the top.

  2. Go to the Spirit of Truth Digital Portal and complete the activities for this week’s session. Again, on your own time, but at least 2 days before the live Zoom session. Go to our “Spirit of Truth” Help Page for short videos on navigating the student portal and on how to complete each type of activity.

  3. Attend the live Zoom for your class at your assigned day and time.
