Funeral Ministry Workshop will be presented over the two workshop sessions:

Funeral Ministry:  This workshop will consist of a detailed presentation of resources for use for those involved in funeral ministry, and for those wishing to learn more about it. Website links and some hard copy material will be available to participants.

Diocesan Sacraments of Initiation Program and Formation for Lectors workshops are offered twice so participants can attend both:

Diocesan Sacraments of Initiation Program, “Let the Children Come”:  In this session we will look at the key features of the recently revised booklets in the “Let the Children Come” collection, to help us in preparing children for the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist.

Formation for Lectors:  The ministry of Lector (often called reader) is that of proclaiming the Word of God. The quality of the proclamation determines whether the assembly is helped or hindered in its listening to the Word. This workshop will explore the practicalities of proclaiming the Word.
