RCIA CLASSES - AUTUMN 2025

RCIA, the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, is the process given to us by the Church to initiate adults and older children into Christianity as it is lived in the Roman Catholic tradition. It can be for unbaptised people who wish to celebrate the sacraments of initiation; baptism, confirmation and eucharist. It can also be used for those who have already been baptised and who want to celebrate the sacraments of confirmation and/or eucharist and to be received into the full communion of the Catholic Church. The classes generally run in the evenings and the course lasts for a few months. If you are interested please contact the parish office for further details.

INTERNATIONAL FOOD EVENING - WEDNESDAY 8TH OCTOBER 7-9PM

This is an opportunity to share with others a dish that is special to you or to experience other cuisines. Dishes must be clearly labelled and any allergens shared. If you wish to contribute please sign up on the lists at both church entrances and in the hall. For further information please contact Karen Jordan on 07922 147682.
