An Invitation

Each year more and more people enquire about joining the Catholic Church. Do you know anyone who may be interested in becoming a Catholic? Would you consider inviting someone to join the Catholic faith? Do we not give best witness to our faith when we share that faith with others? Perhaps you have been baptised into the Catholic faith and have not had an opportunity to receive the other Sacraments?

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a process whereby our parish invites and welcomes new members into our faith community. The community will journey with and support you as together we will explore the treasure that is our Catholic faith. In welcoming others we come to a deeper appreciation of what it really means to be church. For more information please contact, Mary Connell at 9028473 or email cbarpres@eircom.net
