This book is about "Catholics Returning Home," a six-week support program aimed to help Catholics return to the Church. The program's non-judgmental approach is designed to recognize each participant's feelings and help each to understand they are not alone. Program activities, suggestions for publicizing the program and recommendations for follow-up make this an effective evangelization resource.
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. Here's my website: http://www.catholicsreturninghome.org Let me know how I can you with Catholics Returning Home! Sally L Mews
Due to requests, am currently writing a protestant version of my ministry called "Christians Returning Home." Love to hear any comments or suggestions.
