Like to get to know your faith better? Like to be part of a faith sharing group? We would like to set up faith-sharing groups within the parish. We have various DVD resources which groups may wish to use ie Bishop Barron’s Catholicism series, plus a number of presentations by authors and teachers, Scott and Kimberley Hahn. We would envisage these groups (6 – 8 people) meeting in homes within the parish – similar to the way Renew groups met in the past. If you are interested, please get in touch with Mike Ryan.
