HOW DOES WELCOME WORK?

Participants attend a 2-day, 1-overnight renewal weekend at their parish to focus on where they are in their spiritual journeys. Music, faith sharing, Mass, and individual and group activities help them reflect on their current relationship with God and inspire them to be open to the way God is working in their lives. (Men and women attend separate weekends.)

After attending a renewal weekend, participants are invited to serve on the next men’s/women’s WELCOME team at their parish. They will go through a time of team fellowship and formation as the team prays, works, and prepares to lead the next retreat.

After sharing in the WELCOME weekend, participants are encouraged to seek other ministries in their parish to serve and help make the parish a more vibrant faith community.
