Outreach to Inactive Catholics

Awakening Faith

Awakening Faith: Reconnecting with Your Catholic Faith is a small group process that helps inactive Catholics return to the Church. The group meets once a week for six weeks of conversation and socializing. The conversations are based on short, easy-to-read essays about spirituality, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, God’s mercy, the Mass, and the Church. The meetings foster reflection, prayer, and honest sharing in a setting of hospitality and acceptance. Download the Spanish version, Reanima tu fe, of both the Group Leader Guide and the Participant Booklet.
