"Parishes should be close-knit communities, without bureaucracy, people-centered - a place where the gift of the sacraments can be found.
They have to become, once again, schools of service and generosity, with their doors always open to those who are excluded."
RCIA
Do any of these describe you?
- Are you interested in learning more about Christianity and the Catholic Church?
- Are you a baptised catholic who has not yet received First Holy Communion or Confirmation?
- Are you married to a catholic and attend Mass, but just do not know what the next step is in becoming Catholic?
- Would you like to better support your children at a Catholic school?
OPEN TO ALL.
The RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) is held on Thursday evenings. If you would like to learn more about the Catholic Faith, RCIA is primarily a course that helps adults from other faith backgrounds come to understand the Catholic faith as they prepare to be received into the church at Easter but we also encourage practicing parishioners to come along to help out as sponsors and to anyone who wishes to deepen their understanding of the Catholic Faith, all are welcome.
