The RCIA: Journey in Faith programme is an easy and friendly setting where we together explore life’s meaning with the help of our own life experience, the Scriptures, Tradition, and the Church’s Teaching.
Everyone is welcome including parents who want to be confident of answer-ing questions raised by their children, partners and friends, young people who sense God is calling them to a spiritual awakening who want to make the most of their lives, anyone who feels the need to put their lives on a new footing because life does not seem to be delivering all that it promises, or Catholics who have fallen away from the Church for any reason and are considering returning yet feel the need to be better informed about the real nature of the Church, or any one who wants to learn more about what Catholics believe. Perhaps you feel God is calling you to be a Catholic and this is the next stage for you. Whatever your reason or background you are most welcome to join us and you can be assured of our prayers and indeed the regular prayers of the whole community.
Please check the latest newsletter for location, dates and times of the programme.
If you want to participate in the programme then please download the RCIA Application Form and return the completed form to the Presbytery.
