How can I be part of Catholics Come Home in the Rockford Diocese?


Pray

First of all, thank you for living your faith and for your offer to share it with others.

The first thing you can do is pray. Pray for the Catholics Come Home Program to touch the lives
of many. You make this prayer part of your daily routine ...


Catholics Come Home Prayer

O God of mercy,
As we begin this Catholics Come Home Initiative,
Send the Holy Spirit upon this Diocese to renew us in faith.
Enable us to share the good news of the Gospel
With loving words and caring deeds,
So that returning Catholics may be drawn to your Church,
And follow the way of Your Son, Jesus,
Who is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
We make our prayer through Jesus our Lord.
Amen.
Study your faith

Second, make sure you have prepared yourself by studying up on the teachings and history of the Catholic Church, and of course, it's important to be familiar with Sacred Scripture. Look at some of the parish resources to help you and your fellow parishioners become better evangelizers. Here are some additional sources you may find helpful:
