St Francis de Sales - Wash Common

 

 
St Francis de Sales - Wash Common
 


 



A safe harbour or landing place
for returning Catholics
to explore and share their faith
with 8 or 9 attending Catholics


LANDINGS
works - because it is

straightforward
unthreatening
honest

LANDINGS

is based on the belief

  • That is is possible to speak openly about what we believe,
    to share our faith and learn
    from one another
  • That this can be achieved by working in small groups made
    up of both active Catholics and those who wish to return to the Church
  • That the road to reconciliation
    is worth taking and, for many,
    is most rewarding when journeyed with othe travellers





LANDINGS

means

Listening

and

Being Listened to

It offers time and space
to explore afresh
where God had been in your life
and in the lives of other Catholics.

Where He is now in you,
in others, and in today's Church

LANDINGS

is not

  • The 'saved' welcoming the 'sinner'
  • People pressurising others to return
  • Full of answers to teach the unenlightened
  • Blind to the hurt the Church may have caused someone.

It is

  • An opportunity to come and be reconciled.








The group will will be
meeting weekly once
again in the autumn





LANDINGS

A shared
way back

 




We need the Church
and the Church
need us today
