Why do theology teachers love our conference?

For the formation, the conversations, the prayer, the practical ideas, and the chance to step outside the day-to-day and invest in the work they’re called to do.

A strong curriculum does more than present information. It gives students a clear, consistent way to learn, understand, and apply what they are being taught.

Word of Life uses the Ecclesial Method across every grade, giving teachers a consistent pedagogical approach while helping students move from learning, to internalizing, to living the truths of the faith.

That consistency helps create a classroom environment where students know what to expect, build trust with their teacher, and are guided through each lesson with purpose.

Today, we celebrate the Feast of St. Augustine of Hippo, patron saint of the Augustine Institute.

In The City of God, Augustine writes of the two cities formed by two loves: the earthly city by love of self, and the heavenly city by love of God.

As the patron saint of the Augustine Institute, St. Augustine holds a special place in our mission to help people understand, live, and share the Catholic faith.

St. Augustine, pray for us!

The New Evangelization is not something we carry out on our own. It is the work of the Holy Spirit, moving the Church to bring Christ to the world.

Through the Augustine Institute Advocate Program, faithful Catholics are equipped with the training and support they need to serve alongside their leaders and help more people encounter the riches of the Catholic faith.

Join us August 26 at 12 p.m. CT for our August Advocate Gathering: Supporting Ministry Leaders.

Together, we’ll explore how prayer, encouragement, and Augustine Institute resources can strengthen pastors, parish staff, catechists, and ministry leaders as they serve the Church.
