RCIA – Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults The Parish Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) programme began last Wednesday. However, it is not too late for anyone who is interested to come along. The sessions run in the Parish Hall at St. Teilo’s on Wednesday evenings at 6pm. Previous Update • Are you someone without a formal religion who wants to be baptised in the Catholic faith? • Are you a Christian from another faith tradition who would like to be received into the Catholic Church? • Are you an interested inquirer who wants to find out more about the Catholic Faith? • Are you an adult who has missed out on the Sacrament of Confirmation? If any of the above applies to you, you are most welcome to join the Parish Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) programme which will run in the Parish Hall at St. Teilo’s on Wednesday evenings at 6pm beginning on Wednesday, October 15th . Please come along and discover more – attendance does not commit you to completing the programme but is designed to allow you to reflect on God’s call for you. (The Parish Hall is accessed from the back of the Church building, between the Church and the Priest’s House.)
All Saints – Holyday of Obligation As November 1st falls on Saturday this year, in line with the practice in England and Wales when Holydays fall on Saturdays or Mondays, the celebration of the Solemnity of All Saints, and the associated obligation to attend Mass, is transferred to the Sunday Masses.

Each Tuesday evening, the parish has an hour of silent Adoration at St. Teilo’s from 7pm to 8pm. The primary intention for the period of Adoration is vocations to the priesthood and religious life. Feel free to come for all or part of the hour to pray for the Church in its need for faithful ministers to continue the Mission of Jesus.
At a Loss Café The Parish Loss and Bereavement Café takes a break for the next little while.
