The statistics are troubling. An average of 6.5 people leave the Catholic Church for every one that joins, and 50% of young people who were raised Catholic are no longer Catholic today. The Catholic Church is hemorrhaging young people.

Behind these statistics are countless stories of wounded families. Millions of mothers and fathers are longing for their prodigal children to come home to the Church, crying: "Where did we go wrong?"

The passive wait-and-see approach is no longer an option. We need a different strategy. We need to understand the real reasons why our young people drift away, and we need a game plan to bring them home.

Return offers no magic-bullet guarantee that your child will come back. But you will find a complete game plan to create the best possible environment to reintroduce your child to Christ and his Church.

It is going to be different than in past years, as we are only doing "to go orders". You will be able to call ahead to place your order or stop by the hall and walk up to the double blue doors to place your order. We ask that you wear a mask and do social distancing when placing your order and waiting on your food. Please be patient as this is going to be a learning experience for us all. Our dinners are the same as the past: Adult $9 and Child: $7. New this year - a fish sandwich meal for $7. K of C Hall - Telephone: 740.653.1223.
