If
you are interested in learning more about the Catholic faith, then
please feel free to contact Father Edmund who would be very happy to
discuss this further with you.
The
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process through
which interested adults are gradually introduced to the Roman Catholic
faith. The process of entry into the Church is marked by various
ceremonies in the Rite, which take place at celebrations within the
community during the year leading up to Reception into the Church at
the Easter Vigil and a Thanksgiving Mass at Northampton Cathedral.
Classes will begin at the end of January.
Of
course, becoming a full member of the Catholic Church is not the end of
anything, but the beginning. With continual help and support form
Godparents/sponsors and indeed from the whole community, the new
members will be encouraged to take a full part in the life of the
Church. It will now be their turn to go out and tell others about our
faith, and encourage others, by word and example, to become enquirers.
