coming back to church
There’s an old saying that goes, “Once a Catholic, always a Catholic.” Perhaps you have been away from the Church for a little while or for quite some time, but now you feel something calling you back to the Catholic Church. Listen to that tug. It’s your Heavenly Father reaching out to welcome back the child he loves, the Holy Spirit whispering in your ear, hoping to draw you home.
Regardless of why you left or got out of the habit of going to Mass, you can always come home and return to the practice of the sacraments and the fullness of relationship with Jesus Christ and the Church he founded. Here in the Catholic Church you will find Jesus’ victory over sin and death – for you. Freedom from fear and the gift of God’s love and forgiveness. Hope in a world of confusion and turmoil. A way of life that gives direction and purpose. The guiding light of scripture and tradition. A real and sure encounter with the Lord in the sacraments, and a visible community of faith united in their one common call to know and follow Jesus.
Everyone’s journey is different, everyone has their own story to tell. Below are a few suggestions as to how you might make your journey home. Please decide for yourself what path you will take, and know that we’re here to help.
