A new programme has started to welcome back Catholics who are
considering returning to the Church. Seven of us are currently
enjoying our weekly meetings in a comfortable little room in Warren
Lodge.
This is not a study course like the Journey in Faith (RCIA);
rather it is a listening course. It is said that listening is the
language of God. Our main activity is to listen compassionately
as each of us tells something of how God has been active in our
lives and shares our personal views on contemporary Catholic themes.
Care and sensitivity is needed where there has been hurt and relationship
with the Church needs healing.
We reckon that by the end of our seven weekly meetings we shall
have got to know each other well enough to consider each other
good friends.
We finish each course with a mini retreat led by our Parish Priest
with a theme of Reconciliation. Hopefully by then members
of
our
group
will know
themselves to be safely and happily ‘landed’, accepted
and among friends in our parish.
We will welcome anyone feeling they may want to come back. We
also need more active parishioners to join the group to help welcome
back ‘returners’. Please contact
the Parish Office for more information.
