Faith Group

Faith Group - RCIA

All Christians wish to spread the message of God’s love through Christ, and the parish at Worth Abbey is no exception. The Faith Group RCIA is for those who are interested, intrigued or just curious about the Catholic Christian Faith, and also for those who definitely know they want to join.

The Faith Group meets every Tuesday evening in term time, excluding half terms. The session begins at 7.30 pm in St. Benedict’s with a welcome and a glass of wine until everyone has gathered. The Gospel of the following Sunday is read and the parish priest leads a free and open discussion usually for about a quarter of an hour. He then introduces a further topic for discussion – it could be, for example, the humanity of Christ or authority in the church – and over the months the group will consider the main tenets of Catholic Christian thinking.

Anything or nothing can be said by the participants depending on how confident they feel or whether they are inspired to offer something either because they agree or they disagree.

These meetings often lead to members asking to be received into the Church and their reception will normally take place during the Easter Vigil.

The first session of the 2011/2012 season is on Tuesday, 20th September
