Becoming a Catholic - an on-line seeker centre - Find out more
What does it mean to be a Catholic? How can I find out more about Catholic beliefs?
How can I become a Catholic? How can I find a Catholic Church? What courses are available in the diocese?
In this on-line "Seeker Centre" you can explore these questions, and find practical details of courses available in our diocese.
Available in the links at the left are several sections including an inspiring and prayerful reflective section "Made for God".
You can see or listen to what other people have said about becoming a Catholic or read a section of 'Frequently Asked Questions' about becoming a Catholic.
In our "Connect with a Church" section you will find a searchable list of churches in our diocese where there is an RCIA course, which is the programme local Catholic Churches use to help people find out more about our Faith, with contact details. A brief introduction to the RCIA can be found in the RCIA page.
You might wish to go to one of our local Catholic churches and attend a service there; you would be very welcome to do this. You might like to introduce yourself to the priest after the service and talk to him about how you could find out more about the Catholic Church.
If you have a friend or relative who is a Catholic and goes to mass then perhaps you would like to ask them if you can go along to church with them, or you might want to ask them about the Catholic Faith or what their faith means to them. They will be happy to answer you, and even if they are not able to answer all your questions they can put you in touch with someone who can.
