A Gateway Back Home

Catholics Returning Home is a program designed to help Catholics reconnect with their faith, and their relationship with Christ. There is no obligation or cost.

Catholics Returning Home is a:

  • Non-judgmental group where you can freely explore concerns and questions.
  • Small community of others thinking about returning, recently returned Catholics and clergy.
  • Safe haven in which private issues are identified and dealt with privately, with compassion.
  • Warm, welcoming environment.
  • Six week series beginning Monday, March 14th, from 7:30 p. to 9:00 pm in the North Wing Room A at St. Mary Immaculate Parish.

 Typically, we explore the following topics. In week 1, the group surveys the questions and issues they want to explore. Sessions 2 through 5 topics are adjusted to ensure that everyone’s needs are addressed.
