The Virtual Learning Community for Faith Formation (VLCFF) is a growing initiative to offer adult religious education and faith formation anytime and anywhere via the internet. The goal is to support the church's professional ministry of religious education and faith formation in cyberspace.
Our mission is to mobilize the resources of the University of Dayton for partnerships with the Church that create and implement innovative pastoral initiatives designed to meet the needs of the Church and to articulate faith within the context of contemporary culture.

NOTICE: Beginning with Cycle 6 only students who are listed as Paid in Full for a course will be given access to the course material. Those who have the course fee covered by a parish or other entity are encouraged to self-pay by credit card and then request a reimbursement from whoever is covering the cost. Beginning with Cycle 6 the fee for those from a non-partner diocese or organization will increase to $90.00 for courses and $70.00 for seminars. There is no planned increase for partnering dioceses and organizations.
For ordinary Catholics the VLC is a great way to "feed your soul" as well as being "a Cadillac for our Catechists to ride in." Archbishop Daniel E. Pilarczyk, Cincinnati.
