Our Journey of Faith / R.C.I.A. programme will resume on Thursday 6th September. Open to anyone who is interested, we will look at different aspects of the Catholic Faith in an attempt to broaden the knowledge and understanding of those who are already Catholic and to help prepare those who are interested in becoming Catholic. The sessions are relaxed, informative and friendly using the Evangelium resources produced by the C.T.S. No commitment is required in that everyone is free to dip in and out of the sessions as to whatever is convenient for them. Sessions will last from 7.00 - 8.30p.m. approximately. During the first session our topic will be The Meaning of Life, followed in session two by The Creation and the Fall. Please join us for fellowship and formation!
