The Returning Catholics Ministry is:
·
An outreach
program to welcome back returning Catholics to their "home", the
Church, and to help them explore their faith and future with the
Church.
·
A group of
active and returning Catholics sharing fellowship and love of God.
Welcoming Returning Catholics
Are you a Catholic who has been hurt by the Church? Perhaps, you do
not understand the way the Church has changed or perhaps your life has
become too hectic and you have drifted away from the Church.
For whatever reason, we welcome you back to the Catholic Church.
Catholics Returning Home is a proven program that helps returning
Catholics explore both their faith and future with the Church. As a
group, we meet once a week for 7 weeks. This program consists of a
question and answer session, a sharing and healing session, and
sessions on Church topics.
Catholics Returning Home IS NOT:
·
The "saved"
welcoming the "sinners". .People pressuring others to return.
·
Full of
answers to teach the unenlightened.
·
Blind to the
hurt the Church may have caused someone.
Catholics Returning Home IS:
·
People in
solidarity with the returning: who in their own lives have "returned",
and continue to "return".
·
Founded on
the belief that we do not have to be trained theologians to share what
we believe, and to speak honestly about our faith, trusting in the
Holy Spirit.
·
Recognition
that each of us is gifted and has something to offer others.
We will be glad to see you. We have missed you. Perhaps, you have
missed us too and felt emptiness inside. The first step is the
biggest and you have already taken this step by listening to God
calling you.
