JOURNEY IN FAITH
Do you feel God’s gentle call to become Catholic? Or have you been away from Church life and want to return, finding out more about your faith? Would you like to deepen your knowledge of the Catholic Faith?If any of these questions apply to your situation then the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults is for you! Running from October until Easter, the RCIA programme helps to form intentional disciples for Christ and prepare candidates for the sacraments of initiation into the Church, as well as helping anyone who would like a refresher of Catholic teaching.If you are interested, or know someone who might be, please contact the parish office.
