Awakening: An Invitation to Come Home to the Catholic Church
We invite you to join us for a 6-week period of sessions that will awaken you to the truth, beauty, goodness, and community found in Catholic Church.
It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been away from the Church or if you have a lot of questions about coming home—we need you here.
Please know that these sessions are in a loving and judgement-free environment, and simply coming does not obligate you to rejoin the Church.
If you are interested in returning to the Catholic Church, please contact Emily Gipson at the Parish Office at 270-233-4196 or by email at emily.gipson@stmarywoods.com and we will be happy to walk alongside you.
