Being away from the Church

Have you been away from the Church for quite some time and now you’re feeling a tug at your heart to return?  Listen to that tug. It is your Heavenly Father reaching his arms out to you, the Holy Spirit whispering in your ear, hoping to draw you home. “Yet even now, says the Lord, return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; rend your hearts and not your clothing. Return to the Lord, your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love, and relents from punishing.” (Joel 2:12-13) Now is the time to rediscover the truth, wonder, and mystery of the Catholic faith – the practice of the sacraments and fullness of relationship with Jesus Christ. We’ve missed you and the Church is not the same without you. Consider these resources:
