Adult Faith Formation
Opportunities for adult faith formation are not available within the parish but are available at the Maranatha Centre of Adult Faith Formation.
The Maranatha Centre is an Archdiocesan Agency established to provide adult faith formation.
The Centre provides formal programmes with a view to forming adult Catholics in their faith with particular emphases on Mission and Ministry. The programmes are for adults who wish to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the (their) Catholic faith and practice.
A wide range of courses cover such areas as Faith, Church, Scripture, Spirituality, Theology, Liturgy, Pastoral Care and Christian Living.
The Maranatha programmes are of particular value to individuals who are, or wish to become more effectively, involved in the life of their parish, particularly those in formal parish ministry such as Pastoral Associates or Assistants, parish workers and volunteers.
Students may enrol in individual units of interest or in a formal course leading to either a Certificate of Adult Faith Formation or a Certificate of Pastoral Formation.
The Maranatha Centre maintains a very comprehensive website [ www.maranathacentre.org.au ] which provides, together with other information, full details of all courses/units and timetables.
