It is a prerequisite to complete Level 1 Formation prior to Level 2. It is prudent to send your Level 1 and Level 2 catechists\/teachers to Level 1 at the same time. Level 2 formation is tentatively scheduled to be offered in the fall of 2026 and spring of 2027. In Level 2 there will be 11 days of formation, typically divided into a part A and B similar to Level 1.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Below are the dates, times, and location for our Level 1 Formation Course for 2025-26.
