RETURNING CATHOLICS

Are you a Catholic, who just hasn't been active?

Have you been away from the Church and the practice of your faith? Are you thinking about getting re-engaged in the life of the church? Your return to full and active participation in the church is long awaited and needed. Please contact one of our friar priests to chat about your return home. Friar Bill and Friar Conall (722-7001) will warmly welcome you back.

Are you a Catholic who is alienated from the Church?

Have you thought about coming back sometime? You might be interested in the COMING HOME process. It is a process that encourages you and others who have been alienated from the church to explore coming back. Meetings are scheduled in Advent and Lent. Your story will be heard and you will be offered compassion and companionship. What's if you aren't quite ready to come back, but you want to find out what is involved? Then this process is still for you. The COMING HOME team is made up of laypeople, religious and clergy. The laypeople on the team are all "returned" Catholics, who left the church for between 5 and 25 years. Also on the team are Franciscan friars. You can contact a team member by emailing COMING HOME or by phone at 336.403.5016.
