• We provide the skills, tools, and opportunities to deepen your spiritual life, assess your God-given gifts and discern how best to offer these in service to Jesus Christ.
• We provide a working knowledge of particular areas of service including; native ministry, ministry to the sick, dying and bereaved, youth ministry, parish government, sacramental preparations and the RCIA.
• We provide the tools and the guidance to speak confidently about the church, faith and Jesus Christ in the home, the parish and the world.
