The primary purpose of this partnership is to equip individuals involved in ministry grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ and the riches of the Church's teaching and apply it to life experiences and the ministry’s that they serve.

This person will have access to the learner’s progress through the tracks and workshops. The leaders can also decide who will mentor others in the parish.
