Summary

Here the authors offer practical, how-to advice on building parish programs that will attract inactive Catholics and keep them engaged once theyve returned. They honor existing programs such as Landings and Coming Home, but also offer ways to adapt and personalize these programs. They also emphasize the importance for parish teams of being authentic shepherds for Christ, gathering up and feeding his sheep. Returnees, they say, will be richer for rekindling their relationship with Christ and the parish will be richer for sharing their journey.
