Are you interested in becoming a Catholic or knowing what the Church teaches and why? Do you know someone who is? Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) is an easy-to-understand course for all those wishing to deepen their knowledge of the Catholic faith and for those who are preparing for adult Baptism and Confirmation. It involves studying the Scriptures and Catholic practices and discusses how you can apply these to living your everyday life.
At St Joseph's, this course is brought to you free of charge and everyone is welcome to attend. It is open to people of all faiths or none. Meetings will begin, in person, starting on September 18 at 7:30pm. To find out more, email Alwyn Dantis or call 0467 243 363.
