Catholics Come Home Ministry
to begin on April 14 at St. Philip
the Apostle
The return of an inactive Catholic at any time brings great
joy to God and enriches the life of the Church. Through
God’s grace, the person returning can develop a deeper and
stronger faith.
Catholics Come Home is an independent, non-profit char-
ity started and supported by a number of Catholic families
and individuals. It is a welcoming ministry for anyone who
has left the Catholic Church or anyone interested in becom-
ing Catholic. Whether it was resentment, anger, divorce,
isolation, apathy, rebellion, or a lack of understanding of the
faith, coming home has never been easier.
The beloved late Pope, John Paul II, continually exhorted
the Church to begin a new evangelization. He described
modern media as an indispensable means of achieving it.
In Ecclesia in America he wrote, ‘Using the media correctly
and competently can lead to a genuine enculturation of the
Gospel.” Furthermore, he realized that the old methods from
the past needed refreshing, “This vital field of action for the
Church requires a radical change of mentality, an authentic
new awakening of conscience in everyone. New methods are
needed, as are new expressions and new courage.”
Catholics Come Home Ministry at St. Philip the Apostle
will begin on April 14. Call 991-5146 for more information.
