Catechetical Courses - 2008
The following are details of the training planned for the catechists in the diocese for 2008:
All courses cost R200.00 per person (R25.00 per session)
We would appreciate it if the parishes could register by the 30th January as it
helps us to plan the course when we know how many people intend to attend. We
can only accommodate a certain number of catechists on these courses.
Registration Fees to the Catechetical Department can be made through the bank.
Bank details are as follows:
