Returning Catholics
The Catholic Church is the largest Christian denomination in the United States, accounting for about 25 percent of the country’s population.
The Church continues to grow and many people have chosen to convert to Catholicism. The Church is a vibrant, active community of believers which continues to have a positive influence on the lives of many people. However, there are people who for one reason or another have stopped actively participating in the Church and attending Mass. We live in a busy culture and society. There are many demands that are placed on us. Yet people are searching for a deeper sense of meaning, for a closer relationship with God, and for a more authentic spiritual identity.
Since the Church is a family, we miss those Catholics who may have left the Church or who have stopped participating in its vibrant liturgy and sacramental life. Perhaps you or someone you know are in this situation and do not know how to come back or how to become active again. The first thing you need to know is that you are always welcome back. The Church misses you and hopes that you will choose to come home as an active member. Please contact Paul Laskowski at paul.laskowski@stmarknc.org for questions about returning home to the Catholic Church.
Catholics Come Home es una organización benéfica independiente y sin fines de lucro cuyo propósito es invitar a católicos inactivos y a quienes buscan una fe a unirse a la Iglesia Católica. Su sitio web, informativo e interactivo, ayuda a responder preguntas sobre las enseñanzas de la Iglesia y ofrece una visión general de la fe católica. Algunos de sus fundadores y colaboradores han regresado recientemente a la fe católica y desean compartir sus experiencias positivas con otros. Muchos nunca abandonaron la Iglesia, pero recientemente han profundizado su comprensión y aprecio por la fe católica. Todos se sienten parte de una gran familia católica que espera sinceramente que otros también encuentren paz, respuestas reales y verdadera felicidad a través del don de la fe.
