No matter how long you have been away and no matter the reason, we invite you to consider renewing your relationship with the Catholic Church.  If you’ve been hurt, we want to help you overcome your hurt.

Whatever your reason, please give us – and yourself – another chance.

Join us for informal sessions for non-practicing Catholics. We would like to know your feelings and try to address your questions. The sessions will be held during six weekly sessions from 7:30 – 9 PM beginning this spring.

Catholics Returning Home is a welcoming home ministry run by people of our parish by which those who have been away from the Church for a while, no matter how long, can come and see.  In a program of 6 sessions we will welcome, listen, discuss, help, and pray with you as well as bring you up to speed with the core beliefs and changes in the Catholic Church on a journey of reconciliation. There is no obligation, and perhaps some of your questions will be answered.

St. Elizabeth Seton in Naperville, has a special program to help infrequent or non-practicing Catholics return to the Church.

The next series of "Catholics Returning Home" begins on
Tuesday, April 24
.

Please join for these informal sharing sessions and an update of the Catholic faith.

Weekly Prayer Poem

 

Dear Lord ,
You are always there for me,
no matter where or how I am;
nor how long I have been away.
My heart aches for You
and I miss Your Church.
I am searching; help me find You.
I am missing You;
and I hear You calling to me.
I know that You will always reach
out to me with open arms.
I am excited about coming back
to Your love, and the love of my
faith family; and I want to
return home to Your Holy Church
