We would recommend that Forms A and B are emailed to the diocese in order to enable us to process applications more speedily.
We also advise applicants to check with their referees that they have returned Form B to the diocese. Applications cannot be processed without a reference.
It would also be helpful to priests and other referees if applicants completed the first section of Form B i.e. entering their name, address, details of the post applied for, closing date and Diocesan contact. This will minimise the possibility of a delay in the referee submitting the reference.
On receiving your application by email, you will receive an acknowledgement message with further information about what to do if you have not received Approval prior to interview for the post.
