Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is the Catholic Church’s process for welcoming adults into the faith through prayer, instruction, and community involvement, culminating in the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. It is a journey of conversion for those unbaptised, those baptised in other Christian denominations, or Catholics who have not completed their initiation sacraments. The process typically involves weekly meetings over several months, leading to a special celebration at the Easter Vigil. 

We are preparing to begin the RCIA course again for this September. If you are interested, please keep your eye on the newsletter, announcements, and website for when we begin taking sign ups for the new course and we will register, your interest shortly

How to find us & Transport to Church

Please contact us blandford@prcdtr.org.uk or donald.nwaka@prcdtr.org.uk either if you would like to attend Mass but have no transport or if you know of someone in this situation. We will do our best to help.

 

How to find us

Blandford has a ring-road, and if you follow signs for “town centre” you will find yourself on a one-way system through the town.  

 

Following the one-way system you will at some point go through the Market Square with the old parish church and the Town Hall:

 

Turn right and ahead where the road forks you will see this shop with three gables on the roof.
Take the left fork and continue about 300 yards until you see the church on your left with its car park.
