CERTIFICATE IN ALTAR SERVER STUDIES

Applications are now open for the Certificate in Altar Server Studies, a six-month distance learning course offered by the Guild of St Stephen in partnership with the Maryvale Institute. The registration deadline is 15 September.

Designed for adult altar servers (18+), the course explores the liturgy, sacraments, Scripture, leadership, communication and the theology of service. It is delivered through monthly online evening sessions, with an optional study day at Oscott College.

The course costs £500 per student, and parishes may wish to support those interested in undertaking this formation.
