The Saint Paul Seminary Catechetical Institute’s two-year Pillars Program, which walks you through the Catechism of the Catholic Church as a story from blessing to blessing, invites you to join the Class of “soon-to-be” blessed Archbishop Fulton Sheen!


Beginning in September 2026, students will meet on Monday evenings from 7 PM to 9 PM at St. Bartholomew in Wayzata or live-stream at various satellite sites (see flyer below), participate in the small group dynamic, and gather to listen to a lesson from a talented instructor.


Taught by the best instructors in the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, such as Jeff Cavins, Fr. John Klockeman, Deacon Joe Michalak, Dr. Pam Patnode, Dr. Bill Stevenson, Deacon Dan Gannon, Dr. Todd Flanders, Christina Smith, Alyssa Bormes, and more, the program will make sense of all things Catholic, deepen your faith, and lay out the roadmap to heaven. 


The classes are divided into four eleven-week modules with two Saturday morning formative sessions per module. Applications for the “soon-to-be” blessed, Archbishop Fulton Sheen, are being accepted through August 15, 2026. Class is in-person at St. Bartholomew in Wayzata, and via live stream at various satellite sites.


Register today and join over 3,300 graduates of the Catechetical Institute!
