Interfaith Iftar at Fatima Shrine: Breaking Fast, Building Bridges
Introducing the Xaverian Missionaries USA
LISTENING TO THOSE WHO LEFT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
In America, the landscape of the Catholic Church is changing dramatically, as is all religious communities and institutions. The new mission of the Xaverian Missionaries seeks to engage with our Catholic tradition to all outside of the church, Christianity, and even religion itself. The departure of those who were formed in the Catholic faith is felt in every parish. Disaffiliated families make up the majority of Catholic communities throughout the country.
We listen to those who left the church and sacramental practice with loving empathy. We root ourselves in these departure narratives, learning about their world and how they walk in it. We gain deeper insight into the needs, longings, and desires of young people and others. In dialogue with our tradition, we can change our pastoral maps and parish cultures, beginning in Catholic families.
