Interested in the Catholic Church?

Our Lady and St Thomas Catholic Church, Ilkeston is going to begin running an introduction to Catholic Christianity for adults.  The sessions are appropriate for those who wish to enter the Church (RCIA) and those who are exploring faith. Whether you are baptised, non-baptised, a member of another Christian or faith community, or a Catholic who has just been away for a while and just wants a refresher you would be warmly welcomed.  We will be l exploring all aspects of faith such as: Is there a God?  Who is Jesus?  What do Catholics believe and why?  What is the Church?  How do we pray?  How do we know what is right and wrong? And there will be plenty of time for questions. We will meet every 1st Saturday of the month in the church hall (just behind the church, off Regent Street) beginning on the 4th September at 4:30 pm, and every subsequent month at the same time and place.

Prayer for the Year of St Joseph

​

Hail, Guardian

of the Redeemer,

Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

To you God entrusted

his only Son;

in you

Mary placed her trust;

with you

Christ became man.

Blessed Joseph,

to us too,

show yourself a father

and guide us

on the path of life.

Obtain for us grace,

mercy and courage,

and defend us 

from every evil.

Amen.
