One look in the mirror tells us we are unlike anyone else in the whole world. Some of us are tall and others short; some have blue eyes and others brown; some have curly hair and others straight; some are light-skinned and others dark. but, it's not just what we look like that makes us unique. It's our personal identity that sets us apart from anyone else.

When times are tough and things don't go as we planned, knowing our true self can get awfully confusing. but it is in these times when it is most important to understand who
we really are and to realize all the characteristics that makes us special.

What comes to mind for you? Maybe it's your honesty, your sense of humor or your athletic skills. Perhaps it's your kindness or your brain-power. Some of these might be part of your personal identity , and it is in our personal identity that we find our greatest strengths. It
is also in our personal identity that we find the courage to realize our weaknesses. We must be brave enough to know when we need help and smart enough to know where to find it.

DO YOU KNOW ANY..."INACTIVE" OR "ALIENATED CATHOLICS"?

Whatever you may call them, these are people who were baptized Catholic -- but they aren't active in the church anymore.  Maybe it's because of a marriage problem or some other difficulty.  Maybe they do not have any particular issue -- maybe they've just drifted away.

We are asking you to help us to welcome them home.

Our parish is reaching out to these members of our Catholic family.  We want to tell them what the church can offer them.  We want to let them know we miss them.  Most important, we want to invite them back to active participation!

We are asking all the members of our community to think of the people you know that you'd like to see return to the Catholic Church.  You can help them find out about today's church -- the church that can renew their lives in an environment that is compassionate and non-threatening.  Reach out and help us to WELCOME HOME our brother and sisters.

WELCOME HOME MINISTRY - meets the third Tuesday of the month at 7:30PM in the
parish library.

The body is one and has many members, but all the members, many though they are, are one body; and so it is with Christ.
1 Corinthians  12:12
