Adult Religious Education and Faith Formation Online
The Archdiocese of Washington (through the Hearts Aflame program) is a diocesan partner of the University of Dayton’s Virtual Learning Community for Faith Formation (VLCFF). VLCFF is a new initiative to offer adult religious education and faith formation anytime and anywhere via the internet. The VLCFF is coordinated and sponsored by the Institute for Pastoral Initiatives at the University of Dayton - a Catholic Marianist Institution. Daniel E. Pilarczyk, Archbishop of Cincinnati said that VLCFF is a great way to "feed your soul" and "a Cadillac for our Catechists to ride in."
