Throughout the year, the Office for Worship offers a number of liturgical and sacramental courses and workshops to assist those involved in ministry within their parish.

Workshops are held 'on demand' with one of our team going out to your parish to lead parish members in their workshop of choice. These can include assistance as Readers in Mass, Extraordinary Ministers or Ministering to the Bereaved. 

We also offer units from the Certificate of Pastoral Liturgy Course throughout the year,
