School
10 -13 July It is a very good course, suitable for anyone who is keen to explore their faith and no previous theological study is required. It is ideal for catechists, those following the RCIA programme, and really for anyone interested. There are very few residential places left, but many people can attend as non- residential participants, even for part of the programme - whatever you are able to join. If anyone cannot afford the £35 daily non-residential fee (which includes lunch and refreshments), Loreto Spirituality Centre can offer a bursary. You simply need to speak to them, as they do not want anyone to stay away for financial reasons. See Notice in the porch. Download poster here….Next Sunday “Sea Sunday”
