    What do I need to do if I want to become a Catholic?

    What is the Catholic Church?
   
    I am a Catholic and haven't been to church for many years, but I would like

The answer to each of these questions is to invite you to our 'Come and See' sessions, 
where we explore Catholic beliefs and teaching and allow plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion.

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

The next sessions will start on Wednesday 8th  October 2025. If you are interested in finding out about the Catholic Faith, or would like further information, please complete the form below and a member of the team will contact you; or phone Gareth on 07539 502 436.
