HOW DO I BECOME A CATHOLIC?
If you would like to know more about the Catholic faith then you may be interested in joining the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults).
If any of the following applies to you will be very welcome:
1. Adults who wish to be baptised
2. Adults who are already baptised in another Christian denomination and who now wish to become members of the Roman Catholic Church
3. Adults who were baptised in the Catholic Church, and who might not yet have either been confirmed or made their First Holy Communion
4. Any adult who wishes to learn about the Catholic Faith
5. Any Catholic who wants to find out more or deepen their Catholic Faith
Each week we start by looking at the previous Sunday’s readings and then discuss related areas of Catholic teaching and their relevance to living the Christian life.
If you would like to come along or are interested in knowing more please speak to Fr. John or Mary Hallett.
