Thinking of becoming a Catholic?

This process prepares adults who are seeking to be received into the Catholic Church. It invites people to deepen their knowledge of Jesus and their relationship with Him. Weekly sessions take people through the key teachings of the Catholic faith and the issues facing Catholics in today’s world. We look in detail at the sacramental life and prepare those who decide to become Catholics to receive the sacraments of initiation (Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Communion) .
Other parishioners who would like to join us and perhaps refresh their own faith are also very welcome. Sessions take place on THURSDAY at 7:30 pm in the parish centre.
