In an increasingly solipsistic culture, entering into the Catholics Returning Home programme as a team member does a lot to remind one that the body of Christ is first and foremost a community growing together.
This season, under the familiar, warm tutelage of Neville and Phil F, four new candidates returning were led through some of the changes that have been occurring in the Church over the last few years. But if anything, their earnest, honest and blunt questions led the team itself to a fresher understanding of the place the Church holds in the world today.

Review of Catholics Returning Home - Autumn 2010 |
|
|
|
|
When it comes to Easter imagery, everything in Australia runs in reverse. In the Northern Hemisphere, resurrection is neatly mirrored in nature’s Spring, a promise of the long summer of the Spirit up ahead. But Down Under, Autumn has closed in, with its annual intimations of age and cold to come. Yet, in an atmosphere of genial defiance, a warm spiritual hearth has been kindled in the home of hosts Neville and Philomena F.

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.
Typically the content of the programme includes
- Welcome, Overview, Sharing of Stories.
- Discussion and sharing regarding returning Catholics- Why they leave? Why they return?
- 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.
For further information, please contact the Parish Office or Phil F.
This is an initiative of the St Charles Borromeo Parish Catholics Returning Home Ministry. |
