Are
You Looking for Something?
People
sometimes feel distant from God. They
feel at a loss, are hungering or looking for something that they just
can't quite find. This often
leads to staying away from mass. Most
who return say that being away wasn't any better.
They missed having their weekly visits with God and they came to
recognize that they wanted to stay close God's mystery through scripture,
the sacraments, and being a part of a parish community.
How
Can I Get Closer to God?
When
you were baptized you became a member of Christ's Church for all time.
Feeling distant or being away for a while is not the end of the
world. The bible is full of instances where Jesus showed how happy
God is when someone wants to return.
We
warmly welcome you at St. Madeleine's.
We don't look back to the past, but to how Christ is calling us to
new life, today!
If
there is anything standing in the way of your experiencing the fullness of
God's love, please let us know about it.
Our pastor and staff may be able to resolve it.
We don't think that Jesus wants anything less for you than the full
communion of his friendship.
What
is the First Step?
The
first step is up to you. Some people just walk in to Mass. Others like to talk with someone first. Still others prefer a class or a group. Any of these options is OK.
No
matter how long you have been way and no matter what reason, we invite
you to consider renewing your relationship
with the Catholic Church.
Please join us for five informal
listening sessions and an update of the Catholic Faith.
The sessions are held on Wednesday
evenings in the Sophia Chapel from 7 to 9 p.m. beginning October 21,
2009 until December 2, 2009.
