Growing in faith
The Institute For Mission (IFM) empowers the people of God within the Catholic Diocese of Parramatta, with Adult Faith Formation courses that allow us to explore and deepen our Baptismal calling.
Specialist courses are offered on a regular basis for people wishing to prepare for liturgical ministries in the Parishes: Extraordinary Ministers of Communion, Ministers of the Word; those who are involved in Sacramental programs, all areas of pastoral ministry including Ministry of Care, Spirituality and faith formation.
Whether you feel you are called to take on a special liturgical, sacramental or pastoral role within the Church – or simply wish to grow your faith and understanding of what is it to be Catholic – IFM has a range of courses which will meet your needs.
