14 THE YEAR OF ST. JOSEPH | ARCHDIOCESE OF DENVER F irstly, let me mention who we are and what we do. While most people affection- ately know us as the "Biblical School," we are more than that; we are the Lay Division at St. John Vianney Theological Seminary for the Archdiocese of Denver. This makes our seminary unique; not just for the formation of future clerics, but also a division dedicated to the formation of the laity. Our mission is to put people in contact and communion with Jesus, who alone leads us to the heart of the Father in the Spirit. We do this through various offerings that study God's call to each and every person to have a personal relationship with Him in the Church that He established with the Precious Blood of Jesus. Our two flagship programs are the Denver Catholic Biblical School, a four-year study of the Sacred Scriptures, and the Denver Catholic Catechetical School, a two-year study of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. We also offer various other programs of study – year-long "Enrichment Courses" in different topics of the faith, short courses throughout the year, lecture series throughout the liturgical seasons, and day-long workshops. Wherever you're at in your Lessons from St. Joseph: A special class for a special year This "Year of Saint Joseph" presents us with an opportunity to draw deeper into union with Joseph. To that end, I'd like to introduce you to a six-week course about Joseph that I'll be teaching online this summer for anybody, anywhere in the world.
