Ongoing Formation

“Ongoing formation continues the process of learning and growing throughout the time one serves in ministry.”  

-- USCCB document: Co-Workers in the Vineyard of the Lord:
A Resource for Guiding the Development of Lay Ecclesial Ministry

Our office encourages catechetical leaders to participate in Diocesan, regional and national conferences to enhance ministerial skills, build relationships and gain new insights into ministry. Whenever possible, our office subsidizes programs and events to make them more affordable to parish leaders.
