The Word of God, effectively proclaimed, transforms believers. Well-formed ministers are essential for the proclamation of the Word of God. Ministers of the Word become vessels of the Holy Spirit as they place their gifts at the service of the local community.
acuThis four-week training program for Ministers of the Word has been created by Australian liturgy specialists in order to foster and develop the skills of new and existing ministers. The online program features quality liturgical content and offers practical exercises in a supportive and engaging environment. The comprehensive program is suitable for members of all communities, city or regional, large or small, school or parish.
While this program is designed for new ministers, those with many years of ministry have found it to be an outstanding way to refresh their skills and deepen their understanding of the liturgy.
Upon successful completion of the program, you will receive a certificate of completion from the ACU Centre for Liturgy. This program is supported by the Bishops Commission for Liturgy of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference.
The next online training program will commence on 24 February 2025 and will include preparing Ministers of the Word for the Easter Triduum.

The cost of the program is $80 per person. A group discount of 20 per cent is offered when five or more people from the same community enrol and the community (parish/school/other Church community) is meeting the cost of training.
