Catechetical College named after Zyhmunt Lazinski is a secular Catholic educational institution in the city of Baranavičy. The college is the center of the Parish of Divine Mercy and Our Lady of the Gate of Dawn.

Both the idea and the effort to organize a Catholic educational institution date back to the 1990s. But the grand opening of the Catechetical College named after Zyhmunt Lazinski took place only on October 3, 2009. At the solemn mass, Cardinal Kazimir Sviontak noted that the catechetical college is a great opportunity not only to expand your theological knowledge, to get into closer contact with God, but also to learn how to share this knowledge and faith with others.

From the beginning of the college's existence, its many traditions have begun to take shape. Thus, on December 19, 2009, the first pre-Christmas meeting of students and teachers took place. Theatrical performances of biblical stories were shown, after which students and guests of the college met cheerful Belarusian carollers with songs, dances and games, and also shared wafers. At this meeting, Cardinal Kazimir Sviontak announced that during his visit to the Vatican, the catechetical college was registered in the Congregation for Catholic Education.

In addition to celebrations, college teachers and students conduct seminars, conferences, and master classes devoted to issues of faith and complex issues of modern life. Today the college has about 50 students.
