The Catholics Returning Home Programme is based on compassion and reconciliation.

The six week program offers an entry point for non-practicing Catholics to reconnect to a faith community where:

  •      Stories of pain, hurt and rejection can be shared without judgment and in a supportive environment;
  •      Concerns and questions can be met or directed to the appropriate people;
  •      Being comfortable to participate once more in the sacramental life of the Faith community.

  • The Church Today: Changes since Vatican II.
  • Walking through the Mass.
  • The Sacrament of Reconciliation.
  • Not the End but the Beginning. The Creed: What Catholics Believe.
