Landings

Welcoming Returning and Inactive Catholics

Spring session begins Wednesday, February 29, 2012 Contact: Anna LaNave 703-455-2951 or returning-catholics@stcharleschurch.org

If you are a Catholic who has been away from the Church, know we are thinking about you. We invite you to be an active part of us again.

St. Charles Borromeo offers you a safe place, a “Landings” place to be listened to, a place for understanding and healing, and a place to ask questions and update your faith as an adult.

During the eight week Landings program, a group of active Catholics, “returnees” themselves, join with returning Catholics to share and explore our faith together.

If you are interested and want more information, please call or email us.

Landings participants say:

“The warm, inviting atmosphere of Landings facilitated my return to Catholicism after thirty-five years. This program at St. Charles is a wonderful mix of discussion about theology, philosophy and real life. The Landings Team is fantastic!”

“I was a lapsed Catholic for 12 years. I felt a spiritual calling but wasn’t sure returning to the Catholic Church was right. Landings was vital in confirming my decision to return to the Catholic faith.”
