Journey in Faith
Our parishes of Holy Rood and Our Lady’s run an annual “Journey in Faith” course. This is comprised of a series of talks on a range of topics relevant to the Catholic Faith. The course is aimed at adults who are keen to learn more about Catholicism, wish to become Catholics, or who are formerly lapsed Catholics considering a return to the practice of their faith.
The 2026 course will take on Wednesday evenings at 18.30 in Holy Rood presbytery on: February 25th; March 4th; March 11th; March 18th; March 25th & April 1st.
You are most welcome, whether you want to become a Catholic, return to the Church or just learn about what Catholics believe. Please contact Fr Damian if you would like to find out more.
