We wish to advise that the intake for the current RCIA group, which culminates at Easter in 2025, has closed.

The RCIA journey runs from September through to Easter the following year.  So, the next intake will be for inquirers wishing to start the program in September 2025.  We will be planning for the next season leading up to July 2025.

The RCIA journey into learning about the Catholic faith, is held each year from September to Easter the following year. Sessions involve members of the Parish supporting new inquiries. They pray together, learn about the life of Jesus and discuss what his message means for us today. Another aspect of the sessions is to enlighten, inform and discuss Catholic beliefs and practises.

Initiation into the Catholic Church

Each year, at the Easter Vigil, those adults having completed the RCIA journey, can receive the Sacraments of Initiation and be fully welcomed into the Catholic Church.
