Evangelium

Enquiring about the Catholic Faith at St James'

St James' Church is open to all who may enquire about the Catholic Faith. Already many non-Catholics - usually the partners of Catholics - worship in St James' and they are most welcome. In addition, enquiries are often received from people who would like to know a little more.

If you relish the idea of really learning about the Catholic Faith in a welcoming and informal environment then this is for you! Evangelium (“Good News”) is a new course teaching the fundamental beliefs and practices of the Catholic Church. The course is largely visual, using a digital projector, and follows the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

You might:

● be a non Catholic;

● be married to a Catholic and would like to learn a little more;

● come to Mass each Sunday with your Catholic family and would like to really understand the Mass;

● feel that you may be excluded because of past experiences (actually no one is excluded from membership of the church);

● be a Catholic but have not practised regularly for years;

● be a baptised Christian seeking the fullness of the Catholic Faith;

● be an ordinary Catholic who has not really studied the Faith since school;

● have intellectual doubts, difficulties, or dilemmas about Catholicism.

Any non-Catholic (18+ years) is most welcome to this group, which will explain the basics of the Catholic faith. However Catholics (especially spouses) are also warmly welcome. Further information from Father Bryan Wells (Priest-in-Charge, 01689 827100).
