Returning Catholic?

Welcome Home

No matter how long you have been away, Christ has never stopped calling you back to Himself. The Church is ready to receive you with mercy, healing, and hope.

Read Luke 15:11–32 — the Parable of the Prodigal Son.

Start With Prayer

Lord Jesus Christ, I believe You are calling me home. Give me the grace to know You, trust You, and follow You faithfully. Amen.

Go To Confession

If you have been away from the faith and are conscious of grave sin, return through the Sacrament of Confession. In Confession, Christ offers mercy, forgiveness, and restoration to sanctifying grace.

Catechism References: CCC 1422–1498

Return To Sunday Mass

The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life. Begin again by attending Mass every Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation.

Catechism Reference: CCC 1324

Relearn The Faith

Take time to rebuild your foundation. Read the Catechism, return to Scripture, learn to pray again, and explore faithful Catholic resources.

Talk To A Priest

You do not have to figure everything out alone. Contact a local parish and ask to speak with a priest. He can help you return to Confession, Mass, prayer, and the sacramental life of the Church.

No Shame. Only Mercy.

This page is not here to shame you. The heart of the Father is mercy. Like the father in the parable of the prodigal son, the Church rejoices whenever a son or daughter comes home.
