Who is it for?You – if you are currently working as a Parish Catechist or wishing to take on such a role, whether that involves work with children, teenagers, parents or adult enquirers.
What is it for? To build firm foundations in faith and knowledge, to nurture confidence and develop practical skills.
What is involved? 14 evening sessions of two hours at either Middlesbrough or York, plus a final Day of Reflection and Commissioning by Bishop Terence. Participants are expected to make every effort to attend all sessions. There is no compulsory written work.
What does it cost? £50 per person for the entire course.
Who is leading the course? Each session will be led by two speakers – Clergy, Lay or Religious – who have expertise and enthusiasm for their chosen topic. A member of the Adult Formation team will animate each session.
I’m interested, what should I do next? Please speak to your Parish Priest, whose written consent is required. Application forms must be returned by 1st September 2010. Places are limited and will be given on a first come, first served basis.
How do I find out more? By contacting any member of the Adult Formation Team using the details at the top of the page.

Loving God,
Your Son Jesus has planted the seed of faith in our hearts.
Help us grow in knowledge and love of that faith,
and give us the courage to share it with our neighbours.
Make our lives and our communities into fertile soil bringing forth a rich harvest to your glory
