Returning to the Church? Ready for Something More?

Are you thinking about coming back to the Church?
Feeling spiritually dry or in need of renewal?
Longing to go deeper in your faith?
Currently in OCIA—or completed OCIA in the past and wondering, what’s next?

This is for you.

The Rescue Project

St. John the Evangelist invites you to experience The Rescue Project, a powerful and beautifully presented proclamation of the Gospel that answers the most important question of our lives:

Why does Jesus matter right now?

Beginning Wednesday, February 25
6:00–8:00 PM
St. John Parish Center

Each evening includes:

  • A shared meal

  • A compelling episode presentation

  • Meaningful small-group discussion

This is not simply a class. It is an opportunity for encounter.

What Is The Rescue Project?

The Rescue Project is a parish-based experience developed to clearly and compellingly proclaim the Gospel. It presents the kerygma—the core message of Christianity—in a way that is intellectually serious, emotionally engaging, and spiritually transformative.

It walks through the great story of:

  • Creation

  • The Fall

  • The mission of Jesus

  • The Cross and Resurrection

  • The Church

  • Your personal response

Whether you are returning after years away or have been faithfully attending Mass but feel ready for deeper formation, this experience is designed to reignite your relationship with Christ.

Who Should Attend?

This series is especially for:

  • Those returning to the Church after time away

  • Anyone seeking a spiritual reset or renewal

  • Parishioners who want to move beyond routine faith practice

  • Current or former OCIA participants

  • Anyone curious about the deeper meaning of the Gospel

No prior theological background is necessary. Just bring your questions, your openness, and your hunger for something more.

Why “Rescue”?

Because the heart of Christianity is not merely moral instruction or religious obligation.

It is the announcement that Jesus Christ has acted in history to rescue us—from sin, from isolation, from meaninglessness, and from death itself.

If faith has felt distant, unclear, or overly complicated, The Rescue Project brings you back to the essentials.
