It is hoped that more children will join them next […]
This Catholic group meets on the 2nd Saturday of each month in the Patrick Donegan Room at 7pm. This month’s meeting is on 9th November and the topic is “Are we all equal in Catholicism?” There will be two short talks, open floor discussion, prayer and refreshments. Open to all Catholics aged 18+. Come and learn more about ‘hot topics’ of the Faith so you can increase your own faith and explain key issues to others.
