Life In The Spirit Begins Wednesday 14th April

We have been planning the 'Life In The Spirit' seminars for a long time now. It's hard to believe they are about to begin, but they are.

The first seminar is on Wednesday 14th April at 7.45pm in Johnstown Pastoral Centre. They will continue each Wednesday until June 2nd.

The seminars will help us to see the Holy Spirit at work in our personal lives and in the life of the Church.

Why not come along and see what happens?
