Details: <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Five years after revealing that she had started to study Scientology, Katie Holmes has officially returned to the Catholic faith, registering as a parishioner at the Church of St. Francis Xavier in New York City.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone is thrilled to have Katie join us,\u201d a member of the church\u2019s choir told me. \u201cShe has not yet attended a service, but when she does she will be welcomed with open arms.\u201d<\/p>\n

The church, located on 16th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, is known for inclusive thinking and its welcoming of many gay and lesbian Catholics. Its mission statement indicates that the Roman Catholic Church parish \u201cstrives to be a prophetic, welcoming community, inclusive witness to the presence of Christ Jesus in our midst.\u201d Its website proclaims that it is a respectful community, \u201cwhere seekers and their questions are welcomed, where injustice is challenged, where the poor, the alienated and marginalized find a home, and where people are refreshed, reconciled and renewed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cruise and Holmes just issued a joint statement saying, \u201cWe want to keep matters affecting our family private and express our respect for each other\u2019s commitment to each of our respective beliefs and support each other\u2019s roles as parents.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
