We have good news to share!
The parish runs the RCIA programme and welcomes enquiries about joining the faith-family which is the Catholic Church. If you are curious or interested why not come along to a Mass or give Father a call. The Catholic Enquiry Centre has produced an interesting little pamphlet entitled introducing Catholics. You can download it here.
RCIA stands for the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults.
Those taking part in the programme meet weekly (with breaks for school holidays). The programme ends with the participants, if they so choose, becoming full members of the Catholic church at the Easter ceremonies.
Participants have included
(1)people who have not been baptized,
(2)members of other Christian churches or communions
and
(3)adult Catholics who would like to receive confirmation and make their first communion.
Catholics who would like to learn more about their faith are also welcome.
Please feel free to contact the parish priest for a pressure-free chat. You may see him after Mass, call the presbytery or send him an e-mail.
The next programme will commence in the second half of the year. Please contact the parish priest for more information.
