NEW POSTER:
Diocesan New Course:  Understanding Liturgical Ministry Module.  Mondays, beginning 12th March until 30th April 7.00-9.00pm at St Joseph’s Parish Centre, Gateshead.  A syllabus organised nationally looking at the formation of Lay Liturgical Ministers is being developed and it is proposed that eventually the full programme would lead to national accreditation.  This single module will be useful for anyone who would like to be, or already is, involved in parish Ministry and a certificate is issued to those who have successfully participated which would also contribute to a candidate’s application for the full qualification when it comes into existence.  If you are interested in attending please let Fr Tony know.
