We are starting a new formation course in Stroud on a Wednesday evening called ‘Invited’. These formation sessions are for anyone who is interested in learning more about their faith and passing it onto others. The course will take place April to July this year at The Immaculate Conception parish hall in Stroud.
Invited – God offers us a radical invitation but what does it mean to say yes? What does it mean to be a Catholic? What do we believe and how do we grow deeper in our Faith? This twelve-week course will enable us to explore a variety of questions relating to Catholic Teaching.

Visit the historically rich and important shrine of Our Lady and let us have a little break from the stresses of our everyday lives and unburden ourselves and open our hearts to God’s love and healing grace during this pilgrimage. It is his will that we live life to the full and to experience a peace that the world cannot give.
