How to Start a Group

Starting A New Language Study Group

In order to ensure the doctrinal integrity of the program, Imago Dei, Inc., requires that a study group leader (facilitator) be a practicing Catholic committed to the magisterial teaching of the Church and be certified as a facilitator by Imago Dei. Imago Dei offers facilitator formation in varied locales in the U.S.  The instruction and study group experience allow interested leaders the opportunity to become certified facilitators. To learn the date and place of the next Facilitator Formation Day, contact TOBStudy@imagodei-tob.org.  Formation can also be arranged in other countries.
