      ARE YOU A CATHOLIC
      WHO HAS BEEN AWAY FROM THE CHURCH FOR QUITE SOME TIME?
      ARE YOU CONSIDERING COMING HOME?
      IF SO, HERE ARE SOME SUGGESTIONS:
    • 1. PRAY

      Ask God for guidance and to give you the grace to respond to His call back to the One, True, Catholic, and Apostolic Church

    • 2. REACH OUT

      Give us a call or register online so we can get you on our mailing list and keep you informed on any major events coming up throughout the year!

    • 3. GO TO CONFESSION *

      The purpose of this step is to reconcile with God in the Sacrament of Reconciliation so that you can return to communion with God. This is not necessary for step 4, but highly recommended so that you may receive Holy Communion in a properly disposed manner. 

      * You are absolutely welcome to skip step 3 if you wanted to just come back to experience the liturgy of the Mass, grab a bulletin, and let the Holy Spirit guide you from there.

    • 4. COME TO MASS

      You are always welcome to come to Mass to hear the word of God, take part in the liturgy with all of your fellow Catholics, return to the fullness of the faith through the Sacrament of Reconciliation and most importantly, participate in Holy Communion so that you can once again partake of the body, blood, soul and divinity of Christ!
