“I found Welcome to be a life changing experience. I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit throughout the weekend, I connected with Catholic men whom I now consider as Brothers”
“Two years ago, I attended the Welcome Weekend. Yes, I met an amazing group of women...however, what I didn’t anticipate was that Jesus actually APPEARED! He showed up in every talk, table discussion, song, and minute...Jesus was there for me! The Welcome weekend was a turning point for me in my faith. Through the weekend, He showed me how much more I wanted, and how much more He wanted for me. At the Welcome Weekend, Jesus will appear to you in ways you cannot imagine. He will show you His heart and love for you! ”

Welcome Weekend
God is using Welcome to powerfully transform men and women across the country and around the world. It is a privilege to partner with God in this great work. If you are interested in meeting more people at our parish, join us for an upcoming Welcome Weekend. Welcome is different: it is hosted by men and women from our parish, your family.
