Thinking about becoming a Catholic?
Anyone wishing to know more about the Catholic faith with a view to joining the Church is encouraged to come along to RCIA. Here’s what our previous 3 Enquirers had to say about their experience – “It was a great experience for me and one of the most fulfilling things I’ve done in my life. It’s changed my life for the better!” … “I really enjoyed RCIA. The team are fantastic and encourage questions. It really felt like a safe place where questions were answered without judgement. Starting RCIA at the same time as Alpha was also encouraging as everyone was welcoming, encouraging and supportive of my journey. I feel like a member of a very big family.” … “RCIA has been one of the most meaningful and rewarding experiences of my life. The volunteers who lead the group are incredibly knowledgeable and the kindest, most genuine people. I’m sad to see it coming to an end, but I’m grateful for the impact it has had on my life. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested.” So if you would like to know more, then why not “come and see”! We meet every Tuesday at 7.30pm in the church hall and will start our next session on 2nd September 2025. All enquiries welcome and in strictest confidence.
