As we are presented by issues, questions and debate concerning our belief as Catholics, it can be disconcerting if we are not sure of what our belief actually is. As Catholics we profess the Creed, we say ‘I believe’ but we might not actually be too sure what that entails. This input is meant as a basic refresher in Catholic belief concerning Jesus, Our Lady, the Church and the Sacraments.

It will deal with common misconceptions and contentious points. It is offered to help all to be comfortable with
sharing the Church’s teaching on these important foundations.

DATE: Available from Monday 29th August
COST: £10
LOCATION:  Online self-directed course – access code given at registration
