Adult Faith Education is an act of the Eucharistic Community.}

The Adult Faith Education program in the Bathurst Diocese seeks to provide opportunities for faith development through study groups at Parish level, workshops and conferences at
Regional and Diocesan levels, and by supporting the Parish structure of
Neighbourhood Church communities.

Key Diocesan organisations such as Centacare and the Liturgy Commission contribute to the
Adult Faith Education program.

Partnership with other Dioceses, and membership of Adult Faith Education Associations such as National Pastoral Planners and Australian Catholic Association for Faith Education
offer further enrichment.

On-line sites provide additional resources for those with internet access.

Spiritual libraries are located at the Catholic Resource Centre Kelso and
St Joseph’s Mount Bathurst.
