Coming Home to the Catholic Church

Were you raised Catholic but do not come or seldom come to Church anymore?

Did you feel the Church was not providing for you, or that the Church had abandoned you?

Did you leave because someone hurt you or angered you?

Did you just drift away?

Were you even afraid that you had lost your faith?

Are you a Catholic who now feels separated from the Church?

Would you like to know more about the Catholic Church as it is today?

Would you like to feel at home in the Catholic Church today?

Perhaps all you need to become active in your church again is a simple reconciliation.

Whatever the reason, you have been away too long; but no matter how long, it is never too late to return to the transforming power of God's mercy.

And please remember this: you are always welcome home!

There are as many reasons for coming back to the Church as there are people who left.

While God is at the center of each person's decision to return the circumstances are varied.
