    How do I find out about the Catholic Faith?
   
    What do I need to do if I want to become a Catholic?
   
    My fiancée/fiancé is a Catholic. I would like to know about her/his faith.                  What should I do?
   
    What is the Catholic Church?
   
    I am a Catholic and haven't been to church for many years, but I would like
    to return. What is the best way for me to do this?


The answer to each of these questions is to invite you to our 'Come and See' sessions. These will start on Wednesday 11th November, probably initially via Zoom, due to Covid-19 restrictions on gatherings.
We will explore Catholic beliefs and teaching and there is plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion.

The sessions form part of the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) process.

 If you are interested or would like further information, please complete the form below and a member of the team will contact you; or 
phone Margaret on 01926 428399.
