Many parishes in the Archdiocese of Chicago have tried to find effective ways
to reach out to “inactive” Catholics. This year there is an evangelization effort
that will support those efforts through a media campaign called Catholics
Come Home. The Archdiocese of Chicago and the Dioceses of Joliet and
Rockford have joined together in this evangelization effort and have funded
the commercials, which will be shown on all major networks within this large
viewing area including ABC, NBC, CBS, WGN, FOX, cable stations, Univision, Telemundo,
Polsat and Polvision.
The centerpiece of this evangelization effort is a commercial titled Epic that has been translated into
three languages: English, Spanish and Polish. This commercial has won multiple awards including a
2008 Telly Award for Top Honors and 2009 Communicator Awards. The commercial campaign will begin
on December 16, 2009 and run for 5 ½ weeks, over that time the average TV viewer will see a
Catholics Come Home commercial 13 to 20 time
The Office for Evangelization has created a webpage devoted to Catholics Come
Home. This is the place to see a truly “Chicago” look of the media campaign
and to find facts, photos, and resources specifically for parishes in the Archdiocese.
For more information go to www.CatholicsComeHomeCHICAGO.org.
Catholics Come Home Chicago Begins in Advent
This Advent the Archdiocese of Chicago will partner with the Dioceses of Joliet
and Rockford on an evangelization initiative called Catholics Come Home. This
effort will use TV commercials that will air December 16 to January 24, 2010
on 10 major networks in English, Spanish and Polish. We encourage our parishioners
to pray for those who have left the Church and invite them to join us at Transfiguration.
Parishioners can pick up a brochure to be used as an invitation for those who
have drifted from the practice of the faith. We lovingly invite all those who
have drifted away, to come home, to find healing, answers and support.
