THE EPIPHANY OF THE LORD
Welcome Home! If you are a Catholic who has been away from the Church because of past hurts
or difficulties (including sacramental marital status) or any
other reason, returning to the Church and the sacraments of
God’s love may be far easier than you think. W e are here to
help and to welcome you home in whatever way works best for
you: You can call or email to speak with one of the priests, or
you can come to an informal get-together to have questions
answered directly or anonymously (by dropping a written
question into our Question Box). You’ll also receive updated
information on the Church and our Catholic faith.
Call 342-1852 to speak with one of the priests,

questions about the Catholic Church ... Extend a personal
invitation to them to call 342-1852 to speak with one of the
priests who will be more than happy to take time to answer
questions and provide information. Also extend a personal
invitation to them to come to one of the Masses, or to come
to our Adult Religious Education Classes. Or extend a
