Walking the Passion of Jesus in the Footsteps of Thérèse of Lisieux
The spirituality of St Thérèse has been described as a “Little Way,” or the way of “Spiritual Childhood,” but Thérèse had to endure, in addition to her physical and mental suffering, the most severe trials of faith imaginable. She lost all sense of God’s presence and consolation.

A New Initiative in Partnership with Action Cancer
Exciting Developments at Tobar Mhuire for Catholic Teachers
Tobar Mhuire is delighted to announce that in partnership with Mary Immaculate College, Limerick, we are now in position to offer the Graduate Certificate in Christian Leadership in Education.
This innovative postgraduate programme is under the auspices of Mary Immaculate College and is awarded by the University of Limerick.
PROGRAMME CONTENT
The programme will introduce students to key ideas, concepts and principles that underpin the characteristic spirit or ethos of faith-based education. Among the topics to be included are the following: Jesus the Teacher; Nurturing Personal Faith and Spirituality; The Catholic School and Contemporary Culture; Leading and Managing a Catholic School in Ireland Today; an Integrating Seminar will provide practitioner-based sessions that require students to integrate and explore the cross-disciplinary elements of the programme, the students’ own experience in the school environment, and the application of ethical leadership in a variety of complex scenarios that reflect contemporary issues facing school leaders in faith-based schools.
The programme is designed to augment other qualifications participants may have achieved in areas of leadership and management so that they have the knowledge, competence and skills needed to lead a faith-based school. It will be taught in part-time mode, normally on Saturdays at various venues around the country. It is open to all involved in primary and second level education, especially teachers and others aspiring to roles of leadership or management in education.
ASSESSMENT
Student knowledge and skills are developed in taught modules using a range of methodologies and examined through a variety of continuous assessment assignments.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
Entrants must hold a primary degree and be involved in either the primary or secondary sector as part of the teaching staff or management team / body. All applicants will have to have Garda/PSNI Vetting.
FEES
The Grad Cert is a stand-alone award and the cost is €750.
A participant on this course will get remission from two modules of the MA Christian Leadership in Education/ Grad Dip. and a corresponding remission in the course costs.
There is no financial support in place from the College for the Grad Cert. However, individual schools, religious orders and dioceses may be willing to make some contribution towards fees. These are worked out on an individual basis by the students
DATES:
The course will be run over five Saturdays, commencing in October 2019. The day will run from 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 pm.
