Returning to church?

We know that returning to church can be complicated. If you would like to talk to someone about this, we have created spaces where you can reconnect with your faith and the Church.

Finding your way back
  • Going to confession

    Through confession, we can experience God’s forgiveness. If you have been away from the Church for some time, returning to confession can be a powerful and healing experience.
