Commitment to complete the course
The Parish and the Vicariate consider the faith formation of our Catechists extremely important and willingly support their formation.  However, the parish resources must be used prudently and cannot be wasted.

Therefore, please register only if you are able to honor your commitment for the 5 week duration of the course.

A catechist who does not complete or drops the course after they have signed up and the parish has paid for the course, will be required to reimburse the parish the course fee of AED 185/-  

Orientation Session For First Time Dayton Course Participants

For those who have signed up for a Dayton Course for the first time, you will need to attend an "Orientation Session'' conducted by each program Coordinator, during which you will be introduced to the Dayton Course online format, so that you can start the course confidently.

The date for this Orientation Session will be confirmed in due course.
