Stephen Fraser
Faith Formation Lead
Hi there, nice to meet you!
Seeing people come to know Jesus and growing in faith is the thing that gets me out of bed in the morning. Our brief in Faith Formation is to journey with our parishes, communities, families and all the baptised so that together we build the Body of Christ and each in our own way become missionary disciples of our Lord the Catholic Diocese of Auckland. Our brief covers just about all aspects of life, family, learning, building and growing and many of the big questions of life and purpose relate to growth and faith. Welcome to... our web portal. Spend sometime with us. If you have any questions or would like to engage with us differently, please do not hesitate to call me or any of the team - we'd love to hear from you.
Deborah Wood
Administrator Faith Formation
Hi there, nice to meet you.
In my role at the Auckland Catholic Diocese I have many hats and can help you in many ways.
Mostly I am involved in creating resources for the other members of my team, but more importantly I develop the program for children called Kids Korner and its associated parent resource Parent Ponderings. Other programs and services I can help you with are the Toolkit for Sacraments of Initiation for Children and our guidelines and other resource for Baptism preparation. If you need any help here please do not hesitate to call me. If I can't help, my Team Leader certainly can. One final thing; I have access to and can help with Seasons For Growth. This is journeying program for children who are experiencing grief or loss - whether that is in a family, at school or externally.
