For those who wish to know more about Jesus Christ and the Church He founded.
Do you want to know more about the Catholic Church and her beliefs and practices? Do you want to come closer to God? Are you looking for the true meaning of life, why we are here, and where we are going? Each year we run a group to help with these and many other related enquiries. This is a course of instruction and prayer for those who wish to know more about Jesus Christ and the Church He founded.
This course is mainly for those who desire to become Catholic (whether or not they are already baptised). Adult Catholics who are not yet confirmed and want to receive this Sacrament are also welcome. No need to register. Just come along to the first meeting.
This year we have exciting new material using videos and group discussion, that will suit both Catholics who want a refresher on the faith, and also those who are curious and would like to know more.
This year we are starting with an introduction to the Bible and Scripture called 'Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible'. It uses a comprehensive range of short videos, and discussion questions aimed at illustrating the importance of the Bible to Catholicism and its relevance in daily life.
The programme will begin on 28th September. Each session will take place on Thursday evenings in Saint Mary's Parish Centre, Hexham between 7:00pm - 8:30pm.
