Lost Lambs: Facing a Loved One's Departure from the Catholic Faith

Has a loved one left the Catholic Church?

Statistics show that the Church is hemorrhaging her children, and we who remain

suffer the grief and loss. As St. Paul exclaimed, “I have great sorrow and unceasing

anguish in my heart” (Rom 9:2).

Have you brought your own sorrow and anguish to the Lord? Until we address the

wounds we bear, we can feel disqualified and discouraged about inviting our loved

ones to come home or about sharing our faith with anyone else.

Attend this Fall Day of Reflection and find a sacred time and space to begin

(or continue) your own healing. The Retreat will include:

•Mass and prayer

•Small group faith sharing on relevant and inspiring Scriptures

•Guidance and encouragement in your own walk with the Lord

Fri, Oct. 18 (6-8:30pm); & Sat, Oct.19 (9am-4pm)
