Developing Disciples

Are you interested in developing your role within your parish community? Developing Discipleship has been created to help connect, inspire and inform those wishing to develop as Disciples.

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them and teaching them. This is 'Why' the Church gathers. It is Our Mission Statement."

Catechesis in the Mission of the Church

This course for catechists, ‘Catechesis in the Mission of the Church’ supports those already involved in catechesis in further developing their own faith and understanding and offers a structured programme for those interested in becoming a catechist. Each of the 18 sessions offers a time of prayer, teaching, reflection and also a time for questions. Sessions will take place on Tuesday evenings at St. Aloysius Parish Hall in Hebburn. Further information on dates, content and how to book are now available here.
