Becomelight white

As Catholics, we are a city set on a hill, called to be light. We’ve been given the grace we need to become what He commands us to be. Through the Lumen Christi Institute, the Diocese of Orange seeks to set hearts on fire and become light to the world. 

Lumen Christi provides easy access and powerful formation for Catholics of all walks of life and stages of faith. From schools of biblical studies and evangelization to certification opportunities, the Institute aims to enlighten the mind, enkindle the heart, and empower the Church to carry on the mission of Christ. 

WHAT DOES LUMEN CHRISTI OFFER?

Within the Lumen Christi Institute, there are four paths that aim to equip and encourage the faithful to take their place within the mission of Christ.

Asset 1

Catholic Biblical Institute

 When we study the Bible, we meet Christ in a new, transformative way. The Catholic Biblical Institute provides opportunities for anyone to study scripture and apply the story of Christ in everyday life.

Asset 2

Catechetical Certification

Certification pathways for catechists such as Basic Catechist Certification for Catechists and Catholic School Teachers, Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, and Master Catechist Certification.

Asset 3

Lay Ministry Certification

Ministry certification equips the baptized to fulfill the call of God on their life in a role of service to the community. From Liturgy ministries to mental health, and many areas in between, there are a variety of options for those wanting to serve the Church more intentionally.

Asset 4

Street Evangelization Training

A series of skill-building workshops to help Catholics navigate faith-sharing conversations. With the encouragement found in the simple steps taught through these workshops, anyone can answer the baptismal call to carry on the mission of Jesus.
