Katie Holmes is reportedly reconnecting with old friends while in Louisiana shooting “Mad Money.” While on-set and away from hubby Tom Cruise and his controlling ways, a source told Life & Style magazine that Katie is “quietly reclaiming parts of her past.” Whatever that means.

The mag reports that Holmes is reconnecting with family and friends and even secretly talking to Catholic priests. Holmes was raised a Catholic, but since her marriage, has embraced Scientology, her husband’s religion.

The “Batman Returns” star recently called a childhood pal named Meghann Birie, whom she hadn’t seen since meeting Cruise two years ago, reports L&S.

“She wanted to talk to someone not in Camp Cruise,” a friend told the mag. “Katie told Meghann she can’t believe she abandoned her old life.”

The actress hasn’t been to church lately, but is “secretly talking to pastors” for advice, and wants to enroll Suri in “kiddie Catholicism” classes, according to L&S.

What’s more, Holmes also plans to visit her hometown of Toledo, Ohio, this summer and has invited her parents to the “Mad Money” set.

“She’s trying to make amends with her family,” according to a Holmes family friend.

Tom allegedly plans to join his wifey on-set sometime soon, which I’m guessing will put a stop to this “reclaiming her life” business.
