Assessment

Journal 100%

Module Aims

This module serves as a capstone of the Programme. Learners will keep a journal during the course of the year reflecting on various elements that will improve their ars celebrandi and appreciation of different elements of the liturgical celebration. This will facilitate their personal learning, allowing them to synthesize various elements from different modules so as to become pastoral liturgists. Learners will also have the benefit of participating in a community of learning, where they can all benefit from the experience and reflections of their fellow learners.
