Home Visitation Program

Picture
  The parish home visitation ministry is a welcoming ministry, a way of “opening the doors to 
  Christ.” This is accomplished one home visit at a time by parish participants who are solid in their
  faith, who are good listeners and who are passionate about sharing their love for Jesus and His
  Church.
 
  Cost: Negligible
 
  Target: Members of the parish who attend infrequently; those who have left the parish; new
  parishioners; individuals and families identified by parish staff and members as open to a visit
 
Resources: The Diocese of Peoria’s Office of Evangelization has a superb 
home visitation program that includes sample brochures, a scripted example of a visitation, a list of resources and general guidelines. The Legion of Mary also offers a program of home visitation as well.

Notes:  A parish home visitation program can be done at any time by the visitation team, planned around parish activities like a parish mission, homecoming, RCIA kickoff, parish festival or picnic, etc.
