Interested in becoming a Catholic?
"You did not choose me, no, I chose you" John 15:16
If you are interested in becoming a Catholic there are several starting points, you could: Visit the Nottingham Diocese website on Catholicism; Talk to a friend or family member who is a practising Catholic or contact Father for an informal chat.
Please remember, you don't need to be a Catholic to walk through the doors of a Catholic church - everyone is welcome!
I've not been to church for a while?
Just because you've not been to church for a while doesn't mean you stop being a member of the Catholic church. If you've noticed a curiosity returning, then try to listen to it. Praying for guidance from the Holy Spirit is always a good start.
You will always be welcome in church, however you should go to confession before receiving Holy Communion again (don't worry there are leaflets on what to say if you can't remember). If you have any questions please contact Father, who would be delighted to hear from you.
