Courses and Workshops

Throughout the year, the Pastoral Services Team offers a number of liturgical and formation 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. You can choose from a range of different workshops and the presentation time is guided by the needs of each Parish. 


To enquire about any of these workshops, please have someone from your Parish leadership team contact our office at 8210 8130 or by email: [email protected] or you can complete a registration of interest at the bottom of this page.
