Bring Them Home!
- Were you raised Catholic but do not come or seldom come to Church anymore?
- Are you a Catholic who now feels separated from the church?
- Would you like to know more about the Catholic Church as it is today?
- Would you like to feel at home in the Catholic Church again?
We have a special ministry just for people who have been away from the Church.
Please join us for an informal seven-week series to address your questions and make you feel at home once more in the Catholic Church.

Please give the Catholic Church and yourself another chance by joining us at these weekly sessions.
No matter how long you have been away and no matter what reason, we invite you to consider renewing your relationship with the Catholic Church.
Former non-practicing Catholics that will share their stories and listen to your feelings and concerns conduct the sessions. There is no obligation, and perhaps some of your questions will be answered.

“Come To Me”
Come Holy Spirit fill us with your life. Open our hearts and minds to receive the love of the Father. Draw us to experience anew the mercy and forgiveness of Christ, your Son. Send us forth to proclaim this good news to all people. Bring back those who are away from the fullness of faith. Let the “new Evangelization” take root here in our midst and throughout the world. Enlightened by the power of the Holy Spirit, transformed by our Eucharistic Lord, may we bring the love of the Father to all humanity.
Mary Mother of God and Mother of the Church, pray for us.
“… WHOEVER COMES TO ME WILL NEVER HUNGER, WHOEVER BELIEVES IN ME WILL NEVER THIRST.”
