Our programme for adults interested in finding out more about the Catholic faith will start soon. The RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) programme provides an opportunity to understand the Catholic faith and to prepare for the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Communion. The first phase of the programme is focussed on finding out more about our faith and is open to all, without any need for commitment at this stage. The programme will be held weekly at a time to suit peoples availability; each session is just over an hour long. For more information please contact the lead catechist, Harold Williams on 07768 505 338.
