CALLED TO BECOME A CATHOLIC?
Becoming Catholic
is an amazing,
life-changing journey.
Much more than
a series of educational classes, it moves through a process of deep reflection, discernment and formation.
God offers each of us the grace of desiring and seeking love, truth, and meaning.
He is the initiator and giver of all faith, who inspires and guides us on our journey.
Throughout the process of initiation into
the Catholic Church, the people of God accompany those seeking full initiation
step-by-step, to support, guide,
and help them hear God's call in their life.
I'm not baptised,
but I'm interested in becoming Catholic
I was baptised in a different Christian tradition or denomination
I was baptised Catholic and I am interested in full initiation into the Church
Please see Father Sean or Email worcesterpark@rcaos.org.uk
if you are interested without any obligation.

PRAYER FOR HUMILITY
Father, give me the humility which realizes
its ignorance, admits its mistakes,
recognizes its needs, welcomes advice
and accepts rebukes.
Help me always
to praise rather than criticize, to encourage rather than to disparage, to build rather
than to destroy, and to think of people at their best rather than at their worst.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
