Welcome Home Catholics
General Information
Good News for our baptized, yet inactive, Catholic brothers and sisters! Welcome Home Catholics is launching "A Fresh Start"
right here to invite you back to Mass and the sacraments. This six-part series brings to your screens WHC's time-tested parish format listed on our "What To Expect" page. Recorded at St. Patrick Parish in Lafayette, Louisiana by Channel One Digital, this series features Sunday Mass at St. Ignatius Parish in Mobile, Alabama recorded by Motivation Media.
Also streaming at no charge on YouTube, this video series will help inactive Catholics get back up to speed. WHC host parishes will also be able to access “A Fresh Start” on a tv or tablet at weekly sessions as a springboard for vibrant discussions. So will those unable to attend due to age, illness or distance. Of course, practicing Catholics can also view this refresher of our faith’s essentials.
“A Fresh Start” launches this Easter to respond to inquiries about the many Catholics who are not in touch with their local parishes. But, you don’t have to wait until Easter! Attend a Mass near you today and the WHC sessions. To learn more and see this season’s participating parishes, visit the Schedule page.First, preview below ... “A Fresh Start.”
