In the first year of the program, you will develop foundational skills for ministry and leadership, such as written and oral communication skills, active listening, time management, discipline, interacting with others, and principles for a healthy lifestyle. While building those skills, you will also be able to deepen your understanding and experience of the Catholic faith by studying the Creed, engaging in various forms of prayer, and identifying your spiritual gifts.
Year 12
In this second year, you will be given the opportunity to use the skills you developed in your first year in variety of ministry and leadership contexts. You will be able to use your communication skills in one-on-one mentoring. Your skills in interacting with others and time management will be used as you work in teams to plan, organise and implement Christian ministry events. You will be able to use your spiritual gifting to further your leadership skills in a ministry setting.
