We work with leaders, local churches and dioceses in a number of different ways to support mission and evangelism, including free resources as part of our COVID-19 recovery. We also advertise a variety of ministry roles at our patronage churches and elsewhere.

Please note, orders may take longer than usual to arrive due to some CPAS staff working from home, in line with government guidelines.
