Returning Catholics/Landings
Landings offers a supportive community setting within which participants have an opportunity to speak with ordinary Catholics about faith-related questions, issues and difficulties. It is a safe environment for returning Catholics to come to terms with recent changes in the Church and in themselves.
Membership:
A group of six to eight active Catholics join together to welcome two or three returning Catholics to share and explore faith together.
Events:
Landings presents two 6-8 week sessions, one in the fall and one in the spring. The sessions meet in the evening designated for each session and are followed by a half day or evening of reflection and an opportunity for Reconciliation.
Meetings:
Once weekly, 7 - 9 PM
Next Landings session beings September 19, 2007. Call Sr. Mary Therese SND at 362-0685 ext 24 to sign up!
