HOW TO DOWNLOAD IT: Place your mouse pointer over its link and right-click your mouse to open the Windows dialog box, then choose "Save target as..." and save it in your "My Documents" folder (or wherever you want to keep it).
• Preferred Method (much easier to use!)

Instructor: Terry Modica
You can get an idea of Terry's perspective on the Church's teachings about the mission of the Redeemer and the Church by reading her WordBytes on the topic (see links to them in the left column). Terry is the author of the daily Good News Reflections and has been teaching parish seminars on the Catholic Catechism and Church documents since 1994.

Terry converted to Catholicism in 1977, at which time she began to study official Church teachings in order to understand and dig deep into her new faith. Always involved in her parishes, she gained a reputation for inspirational teaching and spiritual leadership in Adult Religious Education, prayer groups, Parish Council, and as diocesan staff writer. She was certified by the Diocese of Trenton, NJ, in Pastoral Administration and by the Lay Pastoral Ministry Institute of the Diocese of St. Petersburg, Florida. ( more )

Here's how the Good News Digital Classroom works:

Since you are signing up for a self-study course, after you register, you will be given the webpage where the course begins and a password to access it. There are theological reflection questions throughout. If you'd like, you may share your answers to the questions and your insights or other commentary, and read what others have written, at the Good News Digital Classroom discussion forum.

You have a month to complete the course before your password expires. If you need more time, you may request an extension.

At the end of the course, if you have posted your homework assignments, you may request an emailed certificate that acknowledges successful completion of the course. This is useful for those who need continuing education for their work as catechists or in other ministries. Cloverdale College awards 3 undergraduate credit hours for this web course towards their Bachelor of Religious Education and Bachelor of Theology degrees.
