Have you drifted away from the Catholic Church? If you would like to return, we want to help you. Whatever your reason for leaving, we want to welcome you back. When one member of the body of Christ suffers, the entire body suffers. We know returning may be frightening. We want to remind you the Catholic Church is made up of weak, sinful people, and we all rely on the mercy and forgiveness of a loving God. No matter how long you have been away, you are always welcome to return. It may be a slow process that is not easy. We know you might have questions. We are eager to talk to you and address your questions and concerns.
