Training is a way to grow as a disciple of Christ. The training program provides an opportunity to learn but also an opportunity for prayer and the action of God and the lives of the course participants. It is God who changes our hearts and our lives but we must be ready to put ourselves forward so that God can do that work in our lives joining with us in training is one way of achieving that and so growing parishes provides a variety of training courses to enable parishioners parish leaders and those wanting to grow in faith to allow God to work in their lives.
