Training

Whether you are an individual, a group, a parish, school and/or diocesan representatives, the CASE Team is committed to providing you with training to help you evangelise. At this moment in time, the Church is inviting us all to rise to the missionary challenge that is set before us with a renewed ardour. Together let's put out into the deep and cast out our nets for a catch!

CASE is active in training in three ways:

As direct provider of training – CASE members prepare and deliver training especially workshops and courses.
As collaborator or co-sponsor of training.
As referral agency - listening to training wants and needs and signposting appropriate sources of the training independent of CASE.

THE PORTFOLIO

On request, and subject to availability, the CASE Team are happy to run training days in parishes, diocese, seminaries, schools and/or deaneries, covering key areas in Church life; such as education, outreach to non-Catholics, ways of using modern technologies, amongst others.

We hope that in the following portfolio you will find something which relates to your specific situation. If not, please do contact us. We are always happy to look at ways in which we can expand the training we offer.
