MISSION
The Parish Family of Sts. Joachim and Ann extends a warm invitation and welcome to all who, for any reason, have been separated from the practice of their Catholic faith. This series of gatherings, called Catholics Returning Home, seeks to provide an opportunity for Catholics who have been away from the life of the Church for some time, for whatever reason, to establish reconnection through the healing of any hurt that may have created division and through the acquisition of a renewed understanding of the Church and its mission. These gatherings involve no permanent commitment, but instead seek to provide information and any assistance possible toward reconciliation.
CURRENT EVENTS
Catholics Returning Home sessions are on Sunday afternoons
from 1:30 to 3:00 pm
in the Church Meeting room adjacent to the Gathering Space.
