If you have been away from the Catholic Church for awhile, for whatever reason, we invite you to come back and see how much you have been missed.
Why did you leave the Church?
Was it because. . .

You felt misunderstood?
You felt unwelcome?
You felt disconnected?
You just got into a bad habit during college or other busy times?
You felt driven away for some reason?
You are too busy or too tired to get to church?
You weren’t married in the Church?
You need an annulment?
The present scandals in the Church?
Upset with the changes of Vatican II?

Whatever your reason is we miss you and want to invite you to come back to your community of faith. There is nothing to fear and there is a lot of love to be found. Come join us for three afternoons of information sharing and thoughtful discussion!
On Sundays,
Jan. 7, 14, & 21 @ 1 p.m.

table of the Lord.
Meetings will be held at:

Join us for five Mondays this Lent as we journey with Mary, our spiritual Mother, to the foot of the cross. Each evening will begin with the Rosary, followed by a presentation from Curtis Kneblik on the Blessed Mother’s role in our spiritual lives and her significance in our path to holiness. Together, we will prepare to make or renew our consecration to Mary using the booklet Preparation for the Total Consecration to the Immaculate according to St. Maximilian Kolbe, which will guide us in offering ourselves fully to our Blessed Mother before Palm Sunday. Let Mary guide you as you take up your cross and follow her to the foot of Christ’s crucifixion, where you too will hear the words: “Behold your Mother” (John 19:27).

Written over 400 years ago, this book remains one of the most popular for laity responding to the Second Vatican Council’s universal call to holiness. Written as letters of spiritual direction to Philothea (i.e. lover of God), they are remarkably timeless in their practical application for all Christians today.

Led by Curtis Kneblik, Director of Adult Faith Formation for (Precious Blood, St. Rita, St. Paul), the sessions will consist of short presentations with most of the time devoted to reading and group discussion.
