Catholics Coming Home (Nov. 2004)

For those who have been alienated; for those who have been away

"Catholics Coming Home" is an outreach to inactive Catholics -- those who have been alienated, and those who have been away from the Catholic Church. This outreach begins with listening.

Over the next several weeks, Catholic parishes in the greater St. Cloud area are reaching out, offering a series of opportunities for those who've been away from the Catholic Church. Lay people (non-clergy) will lead six weekly meetings, listening to the stories of those who have been away, offering updates on the Catholic faith and providing information about how inactive Catholics can renew their relationship with the Catholic Church. All are welcome!

All of these sessions are being held in the school building located immediately behind the Cathedral of St. Mary in downtown St. Cloud:

November 11 - What's wrong with the Catholic Church? What's right with the Church?
6:30-8:30 p.m., school building behind the Cathedral of St. Mary, downtown St. Cloud

November 18 - Concepts of God and Jesus: What does "church" mean to you?
