The course aims to provide students with the opportunity to integrate the human, the professional, the academic and the spiritual by building, strengthening and developing skills of critical reflection and by imparting the knowledge, awareness and understanding to enrich their ministry work and to enhance their ability to offer leadership to others.
By the end of the course, students will be able to reflect on their roles of leaders in practical ministry, identify issues that affect their communities, apply core values from Catholic Social teaching in a variety of ministry settings, and understand and respond to the pluralism of Australian society. They will be able to apply models of theological reflection to their practice of ministry and demonstrate enhanced leadership in their current roles. They will be challenged to integrate their practice of ministry with their personal faith development.
