Development of lay ministry  
– Assist lay formation, especially in the training of catechists and other lay ministers to help with the preparation for the Sacraments - minimum required is £500,000
 
The ‘Walking Humbly with our God’ process identified twelve characteristics of what a renewed, fully alive and functioning local Church might look like.

Together in Faith,  through lay formation will help ensure such a community is made possible by providing professional training for chaplaincy roles in prisons, hospitals, universities and other institutions; by offering formation for lay people who exercise ministries within their parish (e.g. those who prepare others for the celebration of the Sacraments, those who work with youth, or the elderly and the vulnerable) and by enabling opportunities at a local and Diocesan level for people to grow in Faith and knowledge of the teaching and vision of the Church.
