Do you know someone who has left the Catholic Church and would like to return? It can be a pretty intimidating prospect. Sometimes, all they need is an invitation to take that first step.

We are looking for additional team members. If you would like to be part of this great ministry, please contact Kendra Backus. Her contact information is in the December 8 bulletin.
