Parish of Manuka South Canberra
Study Groups, Seminars &
Christian Formation
Our Parish offers both ongoing and occasional study groups, as well as special seminars, lectures and mini-retreat / quiet days.
To be a disciple is to be one who learn. Jesus calls disciples to learn from him. Matthew 11:29
For Christians, discipleship is lifelong learning from Jesus.
Ongoing Christian study, formation and spiritual practices are important for our spiritual lives.
They support the nourishment we receive in the Eucharist and the life of the Church.
Closed-mindedness, complacency, pride, fear and the arrogance of thinking we have nothing more
to learn, can all make us reluctant to engage in further learning. Yet it is intrinsic in the spiritual
life and God always provides us with more to learn about this world he loves so much and his
love for us.
Our 2026 Continuing Christian Education programme is designed to help us all find ways of
learning that will help us stay close to God, learn more of God and ourselves, and more of the
faith which we share.
