Description

The historic visit of Pope Francis is a moment of evangelization for the Catholic Church in the United States. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is encouraging dioceses and parishes to host a Welcome Day to build on the excitement. Show your community the love and fellowship that is present in your parish.

Welcome Day provides dioceses and parishes with an opportunity to invite family, friends, and neighbors to encounter Christ and learn more about your parish community.  Our Holy Father continually asks us to go out of our church and share Christ with others. What better time than when he comes to visit? 

Welcome Day materials are designed to help you and your parish leaders prepare, plan and celebrate a Welcome Day at your parish community. Welcome Day resources are available now to download.
