Do you want to know more about the Catholic faith?
When Jesus saw the two disciples following him, he
turned to them and said, "What are you looking for?" They said to him,
"Rabbi, where are you staying?" and he said to them "Come and see" and
they stayed with him that day.
John 1:38-39
Come and See
In this parish we have meetings every Monday night from
8.00 to 9.00 pm to help people who are thinking about becoming Catholics;
for new Catholics and for Catholics who have lapsed from the Church and want
to come back. One thing that they have in common is that they all want to
know more about the Catholic faith.
Some people who come along to these meetings have been coming to Mass for
years and never felt they could ask to know more. Others have met the Church
through a Catholic husband or wife; some have met the parish through the
baptism, communion or confirmation preparation of their children, others
through sickness or death. Some have met Catholics at work or next door.
Some are in some way dissatisfied with their lives or feel there is a gap
they want to fill and they want something more.
If you are one of these people, you are warmly invited to join us.
 |
Those who want to become Catholic are called the R.C.I.A. Group
(the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults). |
|
New Catholics are called the Mystagogia Group.
|
|
Those who have left the Church for some reason and want to come back
are called the Re-membering and Re-newing Group. |
We all meet together to share in our spiritual journey.
Whichever group applies to you, come and see what we are like, what we
believe in. Jesus claimed himself to be the Way, the Truth and the Life
(John 14:6). He offers us a new vision of reality; and we believe, as
Christians, that this vision, his unique way of looking at reality is the
truth that sets us free.
Just come along one Monday evening. We meet in the presbytery (No. 2
Flower Lane) at 8:00 p.m.!
