Catholics Come Home

Have you been away from the Catholic Church for some time?  We've miss you!  Please consider our Catholics Come Home Program.  Welcome Home!  

Catholics Come Home Program is intended to be a journey of sharing together in the rediscovery (or discovery) of the true roots of our faith: a loving and forgiving God. Many of us also left our Catholic faith, some because of alienation, some because of hurt, some from broad dissatisfaction.  The reasons are as varied as we are.  We returned, again for many reasons, but always with someone’s help.  We offer you a loving hand and ear.  Together we will travel through the process of understanding our Catholic faith and finding the merciful, caring Father who is our God.    Welcome Home!
