Journey in Faith:
Meetings: Thursday 7.30pm ~ 9.00pm
Holy Family Parish Centre.
Our Church wishes to extend a warm welcome to those who may be interested in finding out more about the Christian faith. R.C.I.A. stands for Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. This simply means a process of learning and journeying together exploring our own personal call from God which may lead to becoming a full member of the Catholic Church. Interested individuals should contact Fr Eugene who will explain the process we follow here at Holy Family.
Parents and Toddlers Coffee Morning: The group meets on Monday mornings between 9.30 and 11.15 in the Holy Family Parish Centre, Southsea Road, Patchway, giving an opportunity for parents / carers and toddlers to meet. Toddlers are aged up to three and while they enjoy the company of their playmates, the adults can have a cup of tea and a chat and make new friends. Why not just turn up and introduce yourself and your baby?
Pre-school Playgroup: The Holy Family Playgroup is a church run group based at Holy Family Catholic Primary School, Amberley Road, Patchway, for children from the age of 3 years old until they start school. We are allowed 24 children on the days that we run - Tuesdays Wednesdays and Thursdays - the times are 9.15 a.m. until 11.45 a.m. There are two qualified staff and two non qualifed staff, we come under the Social Services and we are inspected once a year. We also have a parent/carer rota so you can help out and see the work your child is doing. We do ask that you fill out a form to register with the group as we get booked up. Tel: 01454 898043
