RCIA 2024/25 Progrmme

Have you found yourself asking questions about God? Is He real? Does he have a plan for me? Did Jesus truly die for me? What do Christians believe? What is the Truth? If you would like to explore these questions further, please read on. You may also wish to complete the enquiry form linked below, and we will contact you with more detailed information.

If you are Catholic but perhaps have not attended church for some time, please feel free to use the form to get in touch with us. We are a welcoming church and would love to help you return to the Lord.

We also offer a specific programme for those baptised in another Christian tradition (e.g. Anglican), who are now discerning whether to be received into full communion with the Catholic Church.

What is RCIA?

RCIA, which stands for the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults, is a process through which non-baptised men and women are welcomed into the Catholic Church. It involves several stages marked by study, prayer, and rites celebrated during Mass. Participants in the RCIA are known as catechumens.

We will walk with you, sharing scripture, Church teachings, and our personal faith stories, to help you understand and experience what it means to be a Catholic.
