Know Your Faith Series:
A Survey Of Church History

Would you like to gain a better understanding of what Catholics believe? What do you think or say when friends state that all religions are basically the same? Why is it so important to be grounded in our Catholic faith when our culture is preaching relativism, nihilism and atheism? Would you like to appreciate more deeply the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church that Christ Himself founded?

The KNOW YOUR FAITH SERIES offers faith formation, catechesis and Catholic fellowship for adults. (Mature youth wishing to learn about their faith are also welcome.)

Quo Vadis Prayer Group

Quo Vadis Prayer Group is a smaller, more intimate prayer group held at Holy Cross Church. Members of this Quo Vadis ("Where are you going?") prayer group re-focus each month on the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus being the centre of our lives. Members meet one Saturday evening each month to grow in their faith. They pray the rosary and chaplet of Divine Mercy, attend a special Mass and inspirational homily (with the kind support of Fr. Emeka Obiezu O.S.A.), followed by sung praise and worship and quiet prayer. Community pot-luck follows for faith sharing and Catholic fellowship
