Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
The RCIA Journey in Faith is the process by which adults who are not Catholics are welcomed into the Christian family in the Catholic Church. This process is sometimes called ‘Journey in Faith’, as participants grow into a particular Catholic community or parish. You may know someone who could be interested in joining the deanery Journey in Faith course that takes place at Sacred Hearts, Cheltenham normally beginning each September.
Perhaps you are married to a non-Catholic and your spouse wishes to find out more about the faith? Perhaps you are already a Catholic and wish to grow more into your faith, or perhaps you are just thinking about becoming a Catholic? If so, then the RCIA Journey in Faith is for you. Please contact Chris Davies in the parish office at Tewkesbury by phone 01684 293273 or send an email with your contact information if you wish to receive further details and/or an application form.
Please note that the course is delivered on Thursday evenings at 6.45pm. There are two sessions each month and it is essential that all application forms are returned to Father Mark Moran at Sacred Hearts, Charlton Kings in good time.
