Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults:Over the years, many people have become Catholic through RCIA. Some were not baptised, some were Christians of other denominations wanting to become a Catholic maybe because of the goodness they see in their catholic spouse, and some were catholic but hadn’t completed their initiation into the Church (not Confirmed or received the Eucharist). God may be calling someone to become Catholic through you. We pray that we will be channels through which others can answer the call. The parish’s RCIA programme will begin soon.

You can also access a wealth of videos about our faith by subscribing to Bishop Barron’s YouTube channel. Bishop Barron addresses a whole host of matters ranging from Catholic theology to myths about the Catholic Church. Go check it out and be inspired!
