This six-week program, originally designed to help people grow in their faith after returning to the Church, is an excellent reflection tool for any study group in the parish setting. Each session lasts approximately 1-1/2 to 2 hours and follows the theme: "What is your image of Jesus?" It is an appropriate study course for any time of the year and its emphasis on group dynamics makes it an easy and effective way to build community among parishioners.
Born and raised in central Wisconsin in the 50's with a mentally ill mother and violent abusive alcoholic father. Catholic in name only. Put in a Catholic school fourth to eighth grade. Never will forget the hopelessness and helplessness of being an abused child and being ostracized, ridiculed and chastised for not paying my way or fitting in Catholic school. Never thought I'd ever set foot in a Catholic church again. But, the Lord had other plans for me by leading me back to the church in 1980 and inspiring me to develop a parish based ministry for helping others return to the church which has since spread worldwide.

Due to requests, am currently writing a protestant version of my ministry called "Christians Returning Home." Love to hear any comments or suggestions.
