This Advent season, the Diocese of Portland has partnered with Catholics Come Home to invite inactive and lapsed Catholics to return to the faith, and to encourage active Catholics to share the love of Christ with family, neighbors and friends.

Coming home can start in many ways – attending Mass, volunteering at your local parish, attending a fellowship event at a church, going to confession or even talking to neighbor or friend who is an active Catholic.

“We need to rediscover God as the Father who loves us, so that we can form a Church where everyone feels at home and build a fraternal world where peace reigns among all peoples.”

– Pope Leo XIV, Regina Caeli, Pentecost Sunday 2026

Returning Catholics Prayer

Dear Lord,
May our hearts and minds be nourished by Your sustaining love,
May our words and actions be guided by Your ever-present grace,
That all who seek to know You encounter You here,
That all who seek to serve You be welcomed to the vineyard,
That all who seek to love You know that they are loved,
And that all who seek to return to their Catholic faith be welcomed and received.
Amen.
