About This Event

I am calling the whole parish to see if there are any parishioners who may be interested in learning more about the Roman Catholic faith, possibly with the view of receiving the Easter Sacraments next Easter 2027. The RCIA is a programme of systematic instruction of all aspects of Catholicism. Examining the Sacred Scriptures – Old & New Testaments. Understanding the whole concept of God. The Incarnation of Jesus Christ – the Lord’s Mission and Teachings. The Gift of the Holy Spirit – Pentecost. The Sacramental Life of the Church – The 7 Sacraments (with special emphasis on the Eucharist). What is the Church – Origins, and the church in 21st Century. The Laws of the Church – Canon Law. The Four Last things – Death Judgement, Hell & Heaven. Sacramentals – The Rosary, Benedictions, the Lives of the Saints, other Catholic Devotions. The Role of the Virgin Mary in God’s plan of Salvation. “Lord, teach us how to pray.” – Many different kinds of Prayer. The Doctrine of the Blessed Trinity. The Paschal Mystery. Journey through Holy Week. If you know anyone who may be interested in learning about the faith, please give them this information, and ask them to contact Fr John – Tel No: 01277 265235. He will be only too happy to sit down and explain the whole RCIA programme and how it works. The New Programme will commence with an Introduction and Information Evening on Thursday, 17 September. There are many non-Catholic spouses who attend Mass on a regular basis with their families, would you consider joining the programme in September?
