This program is designed for students who seek a deeper understanding of the historical development of the Catholic Church and its relationship with the broader story of human civilization. Grounded in Sacred Scripture and the living tradition of the Church, the certificate introduces students to the biblical foundations of the Church through the study of the Old and New Testaments, which reveal the preparation, building, and birth of the Church in salvation history. Participants will explore key moments, figures, and movements in Church History, examining how the Church has interacted with and shaped cultures, societies, and intellectual life across the centuries. Through this study, students will gain a foundational understanding of how the Church’s mission has unfolded in history and how its witness continues to influence the world today.
