25 formation courses,
ready to run in your parish
Our courses are designed to be run by parishioners who are keen to organise! The course videos for each practice are given by clergy and theologians. The typical weekly session is two hours – time for tea and biscuits, then two practices covered by 25 mins of video and 25 mins of group discussion each.
Courses run for up to 10 weeks in the Autumn term, or 4–6 weeks in each half-term of Spring or Summer. Full-day courses can also be run as three weekly sessions instead.
Every course comes with a complete facilitator kit (coming soon) – session guides, discussion prompts, and opening prayers. No theology degree required; just someone willing to gather their community.
Join KeenCatholic to access all parish courses and the course facilitator kit (coming soon).
