Why Welcome?
We believe that Welcome is the first step in helping people make sense of life. You see, people often have this nagging feeling that something is missing in their lives. They want to work this out, but they have no idea how or even where to start. Welcome is an incredible experience that helps them discover what that something is—and what to do about it. It’s run by parishioners for parishioners, and it’s re-energizing parishes across the country.
Welcome is a weekend experience (all day Saturday till 9 PM and Sunday till 3 PM-there is no overnight stay) for parishioners given by men or women who have previously attended Welcome at our parish. Through fellowship, faith sharing, hospitality, music, individual and group activities, Mass, and more, participants have the opportunity to step back from the everyday to reflect on their lives and their spiritual journeys and build meaningful relationships with other men or women in the parish. (Men and women attend separate weekends.)
At Our Lady Of Peace, we have had 150 parishioners take part in a Welcome weekend. Most have found the experience to be joyful and dynamic. We would love you to be a part of the upcoming weekends. The next Women's weekend is March 2 and 3, 2019 and the Men's is March 9,10. Please email Leslie or John with any questions, or register today. God bless you!
All of the meals and materials are provided. There is no cost for the weekend, but a small free-will offering will be accepted completely anonymously.
