What is Monday School?

Monday School is a “Theology for Beginners” course.
Many of us stopped actively learning about our faith when we finished our childhood Sunday School classes. So, while our knowledge of secular subjects has grown and matured throughout our lives, our knowledge of Church teaching is often very elementary. Monday School is a remedy for this. It is what should have come after Sunday School but didn’t.

Even though we will look at Scripture, pray for each other, and learn how to give reasons for our faith, this class is not a Bible study, a prayer meeting, or an apologetics class. In the Scripture passage quoted in this blog's header, St. Paul speaks of giving up childish ways once he became a man. That’s what Monday School is all about: how to think and act like a grown-up Catholic.
