Yfaith Capsule
There are so many things that can teach us about God, and God can speak to us through all sorts of things… other people, books, films, nature, the sacraments…
What do you think are the top three things that help you on your faith journey? What helps your faith grow? What helps you get to know God better, or helps you understand who God has created you to be?
Pick your top three things and submit them with your three reasons, into your faith capsule (if you want to you can include images too).
You can do this using the online form near the bottom of this page.
