WELCOMING CATHOLICS HOME

Thank you for visiting our new Welcoming Catholics Home web page!

This page will be used to keep you informed about an exciting new movement growing across the country, and right here, in the parishes of the greater Keene community. Welcoming Catholics Home is about reaching out to invite Catholics back to actively practice their faith.

People stop practicing for any number of reasons: • Did you stop practicing after a traumatic event in your life? • Were you affected by the clergy abuse crisis or the handling of those events? • Did your beloved church close? • Did you stop practicing in college? • Is a challenging marriage situation impacting your practice? • Maybe life just got in the way?  If these, or similar, situations resonate in your heart and you are interested learning how to return to Catholicism, we would love to talk to you.

Our Welcoming Home Catholics initiative is comprised of seven weekly sessions where we invite you to speak to us about returning to the Catholic faith; we will foster a nonthreatening, no obligations environment.  We will speak openly about some of the issues that may be holding you back and try to answer those concerns.  We will be providing some basic teachings on different areas of the faith. You will be able to speak with people who have had and answered many of the same questions that you have, Catholics who were away and felt God calling them home; they have never been happier.  Even if you are unable to attend all of the sessions, please join us for the first session.  We want to meet you, to listen to you, and to talk with you.
