Apologia - "The Last Things" - 5pm on Sunday 2nd November

Learning how to understand and deepen our faith

The second session of 'Apologia' - a series designed to help deepen our faith - will focus on what the Church calls 'The Last Things'.   It will take place in the parish centre at 5pm on Sunday 2nd November and will be led by the new Chair of our parish pastoral council, Ed Dyer.  The Last Things cover death, judgement, heaven, hell and purgatory, all in the context of resurrection and our destiny of the heavenly realms. The session is well placed, taking place on the feast of All Saints and the eve of All Souls' Day.


Do join us for the second of these informative sessions designed help us deepen, together, our  Catholic faith.


To prepare for the series, a number of parishioners were interviewed by Fr Simon about their faith. These interviews are presented in a series of videos which can be accessed at the link below. Thank you to all who contributed for their willingness to share what their faith means to them.

Bible Study: Ephesians: Discover Your Inheritance

19 September 2025
The study will be Ephesians: Discover Your Inheritance. Ephesians was one of the most widely circulated of St. Paul’s writings because of its powerful, practical instructions for disciples of Christ. This study examines many important themes that are still relevant in today’s Christian culture and society—the nature of marriage, the purpose and role of the Church, the pre-eminence of grace in God’s plan, and the reality of spiritual warfare. Thank you to everyone who has signed up to join the Bible Study class, which is now full.
