Certificate in Eastern Christian Traditions
​through Newman Theological College

Newman Theological College has put together a lovely Certificate program to teach people about the Eastern Christian Faith and it's Traditions.  Our parish is encouraging it's parishioners to enrol in this program, ESPECIALLY those who wish to volunteer or work within the parish.

​We might even pay your tuition!  Contact the parish office or Fr. Bo for details.
I (Fr. Bo) propose that we have an “in church” group class in the upcoming academic year, where we study together and then share after class.  Some people can take the classes for credit, and others can audit the program.  If you cant come and study with us as a group, you can also study from home.​
Here are more details about this program:

The Certificates in Eastern Christian Traditions includes six courses each, of approximately 25 hours over a five-week period. Each course requires that you complete readings and assignments, and participate in online discussions.

Audience
  •  General Interest in your personal faith formation  
  •  Volunteer catechists
  •  Catholic school teachers
  •  Pastoral Assistants in the parishes
  •  Others whose ministry would be enriched by formal certification in this field.
