Most of us do not have to look very far to find non-practicing Catholics in our circle of family and friends. Many of us are concerned about these loved ones, but we don’t know how to help them. Obviously, most of them are searching, but how can we help them find their way home?

Here at Christ the King, we have a special program named Returning Catholics to help non-practicing Catholics return to the Church. In a program of three sessions, we will welcome, listen, discuss, help and pray with them, as well as bring them up-to-date with the core beliefs and changes in the Catholic Church.

Plan to attend with them, if they want your support. It would be good to come to all but at least give time to at least one meeting, if you are interested in coming back to the faith!

There are no commitments, no obligations, just individual discernment and understanding. At the end of this series of sessions, of course, the decision is still up to the individual as to whether he or she is ready and comfortable with returning. And we will be there for our participants as brothers and sisters in faith to support our participants, either way.

For information on our evening series for Returning Catholics, contact Monsignor Frank Bognanno at the Parish Office, 285-2888..

If the Church has hurt you, we apologize.
