FINDING OUT MORE ABOUT THE CATHOLIC FAITH

Do you know anyone who might have thought about becoming a Catholic or wants to find out more about the faith? Maybe they don't know where to start and you're not sure what to advise?​

Why not invite them to come along to the Cathedral on Monday 4th August at 6pm?

Its an 'easy' event - no commitment needed. You can just listen, ask questions, have a look around.... it might just open the way.
