About

Module 3 - Being Sacramental
One of the most striking and consistent themes in the consultation process of the Plenary Council was the call for more and better formation in faith for all the baptised. In response to this call, the Archdiocesan Centre for Catholic Formation was launched in order to engage the baptised in a deeper experience of God as understood and experienced in the Catholic tradition.

At the heart of the Centre’s offerings are four core modules entitled Catholic Foundations. Catholic Foundations is designed to draw Catholics into the fullness of the Catholic life and provide formation for those considering ministry roles. The experience will engage both the head and the heart so participants grow in knowledge and the lived experience of Catholic faith. This module includes 9 sessions supported with opportunities for individual reflection and an optional certificate awarded at completion.

Each module of our Catholic Foundations course is open to all, and you do not need to have completed other modules in order to register for Module 3.

Module 3 engages participants in the concepts of sacramentality, the sacraments and their context in liturgy in the Catholic tradition. The course explores the nature of God’s presence in the sacraments, the nature of grace, how grace is received and experienced in and beyond the sacraments of the Church.

Sessions include:

Week 1: The Sacramental World
Week 2: Liturgy
Week 3: Baptism
Week 4: Reconciliation
Week 5: Holy Orders
Week 6: Marriage
Week 7: Confirmation
Week 8: Anointing
Week 9: Eucharist
