*****************************************************************************************
Certificate in Theological Studies Programme, St. Kieran’s College: This programme ran for the second time last year with a group of 25 participants. It was a resounding success and thoroughly enjoyed by all. The course aims at providing religious education, faith formation and spiritual enrichment for those actively engaged in parish life or in the pastoral care of people, young and old. The course would be of enormous help and value to people involved in teaching at primary level or indeed for those finding themselves teaching R.E. at second level without any formal training or qualification in the area. The programme is a Level 7 Certificate accredited by St Patrick’s College, Maynooth. It provides a solid foundation for any of these fields of ministry and a suitable springboard for further specialization. Above all it helps create confidence and conviction for future volunteers in the life of the parish and the church. The programme runs for 24 weeks, Sept. – May, Mondays and Thursdays, 7.00 – 9.00 p.m., with modules in the Old & New Testament Scriptures, Church History, The Church, past and present, Moral Theology, Liturgy & Sacraments. For further details apply to Declan Murphy, Course Director, St Kieran’s College 087-9081470 or 056-7753624; email [email protected] or [email protected]. Alternatively application forms may be downloaded from www.ossory.ie or stkieranscollege.ie
