Who we are
The Centre for Faith Enrichment is the official adult faith education agency of the Catholic Archdiocese of Perth.
The Centre for Faith Enrichment offers short daytime, evening and weekend courses on a wide range of topics at various locations throughout Perth and online. These include theology, Church history, spirituality, the Sacraments, Scripture and much more. Our courses are presented in a relaxed and friendly environment – with no exams or assignments – and are open to all who are seeking to explore questions of life, faith and meaning. The Centre for Faith Enrichment also runs courses aimed at Young Adults, offers Ongoing Renewal for teachers in Catholic Education WA and awards scholarships for biblical studies through the B.J. Hickey Biblical Foundation.
If you would like the Centre for Faith Enrichment to present an adult faith formation program in your parish or community, please contact us!

Mrs Tracy Stevens
Tracy is responsible for the day to day operations of the Centre. She is always happy to assist (with a smile) with any administrative queries, wherever she can. Tracy has been part of the organisation for almost 20 years and has seen it transition from the Maranatha Institute for Adult Faith Education to the Centre for Faith Enrichment. She feels privileged to have met many wonderful people and see many great changes take place over this time and is very excited to be part of the future of the Centre for Faith Enrichment.
