The Office of Faith Formation and Lay Ecclesial Ministry announces a new certificate program for Parish Directors and Coordinators of Faith Formation. “The Practice of Catechesis with All Ages and Generations,” developed by the National Community of Catechetical Leaders targets both new and seasoned Parish Ministers. Through online and in person learning, participants will be mentored by nationally recognized leaders to explore the various dimensions of designing appropriate processes for adults, youth, children and for family or intergenerational formation opportunities. Pastors are encouraged to consider the benefits for their parish staff persons and to contact the office for more information. A generous cost sharing is extended. Persons interested are asked to make a commitment as soon as possible for applications to be available soon. Course one begins in May of 2024, with the certificate completed in May of 2025.
