Individual / Small Group Study
The Diocese of Fredericton recognizes that due to the rural nature of the province it is difficult for layreaders to attend learning events. That said, it is important to remember that group format provides a more enriched learning environment where ideas are shared and knowledge exchanged. Layreaders are encouraged to attend group events if possible, however, self study modules will be offered.
