Sometimes, before we even realize it, we find we have drifted away from something that once was important to us. If you have been away from church for some reason, I invite you to come back again to pray and to attend Mass.
You are an important part of our family and, like any family, when one person is missing, the family does not feel complete.
Please accept this invitation to rediscover the love of Christ and of your Catholic family and to fill that longing that you may be feeling for God.
Awakening Faith is a conversation-based process. It is an adult learning and faith-sharing process that has six core sessions and four optional follow-up sessions. Each session lasts ninety minutes. In these sessions, the topics are explored in short, accessible essays and discussion questions. The Awakening Faith materials include methods for getting people to share, to reflect, and to pray. A parish can run as many groups as needed, at any time. Someone with basic catechetical skills and a knack for getting people to talk can lead the sessions.
The reason someone should be a Catholic is that the Catholic Church contains ALL of the elements Jesus and the Apostles intended for the church. We believe that the Catholic Church is the true church founded by Jesus. Below, you will find a series of downloadable pamphlets created by Archbishop Sheehan that may address some of your questions.
