Catechist Specialization in Media Literacy Programs

The Pauline Center for Media Studies offers an intensive one-week program each summer, as well as a ten-month program each year (meeting one day a month)  for catechists, youth ministers, clergy, religious, and pastoral ministers. Students can earn an advanced certificate in media literacy that is, at the time of publication, recognized by some California dioceses as a catechist specialization. http://PaulineCMS.org.

The University of Dayton’s Virtual Learning Community of Faith Formation , in partnership with the Pauline Center for Media Studies, offers an online Certificate in Media Literacy program based on the content and methodology used in Our Media World: Teaching Kids K-8 about Faith and Media (Pauline Books & Media, 2010) and Media Mindfulness: Educating Teens about Faith and Media (St. Mary’s Press, 2007). http://vlc.udayton.edu
