Growing in Faith
All are warmly welcomed to RCIA. Grow in knowledge of your faith!
Wed 31st May: For our last RCIA session of the 2-year program, we’ll have a special topic: Everything You’ve Ever Wanted to Know about the Catholic Church But Were Afraid to Ask! Special refreshments. Please join us.
Sessions are usually held in St Paul’s church undercroft, 7.30 – 9.00pm (following Holy Hour on Wednesday evenings). If you are not a Catholic but would like to learn about the Church, whether in view of possibly joining the Church or just to gain more information, or if you are a Catholic but would like to grow in your knowledge of the Faith, please contact one of the priests.

BIBLE STUDY RESUMES
Tue 30th May: We’ll have a four-Tuesdays course in the undercroft. Topic to be arranged.
Bible Study is usually held on Tuesday evenings from 7:30pm to 9pm in the church undercroft. All materials provided. All are welcome!
In the initial 2022 sessions, Father Tim showed some DVDs about biblical stories, Holy Land travelogues.
Then we studied the Book of Judges and its exciting stories of great figures like Gideon, Samson, Deborah and Judith.
In 2021 we completed Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible – eight engaging sessions to help you discover the richness of God’s word, looking at the overall themes, timelines & key people in the Bible.
In 2021 we also watched and thoroughly enjoyed Season One and Two of the Video series ‘CHOSEN’ which was an excellent TV series on the life and ministry of Our Lord.
In 2023 we continued to join together to watch the new episodes in Season 3.
Produced by Angel Studios, you can also watch the videos on a free app called: The Chosen or watch it online at: https://watch.angelstudios.com/thechosen/watch
