Catholics Returning Home
Catholics Returning Home (CRH) is a parish based program designed to reach out and invite nonpracticing/inactive Catholics to return "Home to the Catholic Church" and resume active practice of their faith. Presently, Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church has two major out reaches per year. We begin advertising the program before Christmas and Easter and present the sessions early in January and again after Easter. The same six-week series is repeated twice per year.
