Lay Pastoral Ministry Program
The Diocese of Saint John is happy to announce that another Lay Pastoral Ministry Formation Program will begin November 2013. This is a two-year program that takes place over ten monthly weekends each year. It is a great opportunity for those involved in ministry (within and outside the walls of the church), desiring to learn more about their faith and to grow spiritually, and to develop pastoral skills. It is also a helpful program for those discerning God’s call for ministry. Further information can be found on posters and brochures in the foyer of the church. If you need further information, you may leave a message for Claudette Derdaele, Coordinator of the program, by contacting the Diocese (653-6800). Please note that Diocesan policy requires all applicants to be approved by their parish priest. Registration deadline is September 30th.
