The Diocese of Sandhurst is offering scholarships for studies in Theology and spiritual leadership in Semester II, 2024.  The initiative aims to support the mission formation of Sandhurst parishioners who are undertaking pastoral leadership roles or are seeking to do so.

Scholarship recipients may choose to study a particular unit of theology and/or study for credit towards a post-graduate qualification. There is a professional attainment pathway for those who have not studied at a tertiary level before. 

Bishop Shane says the initiative will ultimately help parish communities.  “The Catholic Diocese of Sandhurst has a strong record in adult faith formation, and this initiative builds on those foundations,” he said. “I am especially interested in providing support to parishioners who hold pastoral leadership roles in our parishes.” Bishop Shane hopes that scholarship recipients will study together in small local groups.

The scholarships will be administered through the office of Dr Chris Cotter, Director of Mission and Pastoral Life.

Applications close 20 May 2024 for Semester II commencing 29 July 2024.
