Christmas 2019
Last Sunday, 20 December, we welcomed Alison and Allie into our faith tradition through our parish, of which they have been a part for well over a year. We asked them to write about what brought them to our door and how they have found the journey of faith exploration. Their responses are inspiring to all of us ‘cradle’ Catholics and we are all invited to continue to support them in prayer, welcome, hospitality and friendship.
