Why choose this course?
The Foundation Degree in Pastoral Mission is designed to give those who want to serve the Church the resources and skills they need in order to make a difference. It will give you the opportunity to integrate the study of Catholic belief and culture with your work in a parish or elsewhere. It has been designed in collaboration with the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Westminster to train lay people who work, either in a voluntary capacity (for example in their parish) or who are in paid employment in the Church. Although designed to meet the needs of Westminster, it is open to lay people from other dioceses.
The Foundation Degree is for the formation of lay people for pastorally supportive leadership roles in the local Church. To take the course, therefore, you must already be active in your parish or place of work, since your work-based learning takes place there.
