2025 PROPAGATION OF THE FAITH APPEAL

 

For women like Sharon, who must choose between feeding her children or selling her crops to survive, and Grace, who risked her life traveling 160km for safe childbirth, Sr Jane and Kayula offer hope. Through sustainable farming, Sr Jane helps women provide for their families. At the Chilonga Mission Hospital, Kayula ensures mothers and babies receive the dignity and care they deserve.

RCIA – Curious about the Catholic Faith?

 

Do you know someone interested in becoming a Catholic? Are you interested in supporting those on their journey of Faith? The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is an established ‘Journey of Faith’ that has parishioners accompany discerning adults, i.e. those seeking to become Catholic, on their path to Sacramental initiation into the life of the Church, at Easter. The RCIA gives those preparing for the Sacraments an opportunity to explore many facets of the Christian life. An invitation is extended to anyone seeking Baptism, as well as to those Baptised in another denomination who may desire full communion with the Catholic Church, to get in touch. If you know of someone who’d be interested in taking up this journey, or you’d like to be a part of their accompaniment, or would like any more information, please contact the Parish Office on: 9583 6161.
