Catholics Returning Home is one of twelve model programs listed in the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) directory “A Time to Listen…A Time to Heal.” The program is used throughout the US and other countries.

Catholics Returning Home sessions provide updated information on the basics of Catholicism in a non-threatening, RCIA-like, support-group format. The sessions are informational and formational.

Catholics Returning Home (CRH) is a parish based program designed to reach-out and invite non-practicing/inactive Catholics to return “Home to the Catholic Church” and resume active practice of their faith.

The program has three major outreaches per year: before Christmas with sessions starting in January, during Lent with sessions starting after Easter and in the late summer with sessions starting in September. The same six-week series is repeated three times per year.

The program is a proven, step by step method that is ready to use. Just follow the instructions in the “how to” book “Inviting Catholics Home” and insert the parish name and specific information into the support materials.
