Summary Guide for Jubilee Year Adult Faith Formation (Theme 2)
The CCCB has released Adult Faith Formation Resources for the Jubilee Year on each of the six themes for the year. Working through the full guide for each theme may not be feasible, you can consider extracting sections of the resources to be incorporated into current ministry activities. To help, the Diocese has compiled a summary for each theme (Theme 1 was circulated to parish teams on January 7). The diocesan Jubilee Committee has created a Summary Guide for Theme 2 at this link. Guides for the four remaining themes will be released over the coming months. They are a great tool for small group ministry activities, either already established in your Family of Parishes or for new groups.
