Thank you for accepting our invitation to learn more about Catholics Come Home and returning to your Catholic faith.
There is no place like home, especially as we struggle through these tough economic times. We
are a family, and there is no judgment or condemnation if you have been away...just love and
acceptance to welcome you back.
Coming home has never been easier.
The Hurts of the Past
The Church is made up of imperfect people on a journey to the fullness of life in Christ. If you have been hurt by a church leader or member in any way, we ask your forgiveness. We believe that you can find healing through the Sacraments and through the compassionate support of our faith community.

Growing Spiritually
God wants you to make the greatest possible difference with
the rest of your life. Many people are realizing that the
routines and rhythms of their everyday life do not fulfill
their hunger for purpose and meaning—they are restless to
live a life that matters. This restlessness in itself is a first
step to growing spiritually. Faith is a gift from God that
strengthens our spiritual life and inspires us to live as

needs and real questions of real people.
Maybe your life is full—but it’s not fulfilling. You see, our

Being Away
It doesn't matter how long someone has been away from
the practice of the faith. The return of an inactive Catholic

the Church. Through God's grace, the person returning
can develop a deeper and stronger faith.

The Catholic faith is a rich treasury of teachings and
tradition. Even the most learned among us does not know
everything. Lifelong Catholics continue to read, study, and
attend adult faith formation classes to grow in their faith.
Anyone who wants to "catch up" will be right at home with
other Catholics.
