If you have been away from the Catholic community and are looking to reconnect, you are welcome here.
Perhaps you have been away from the Church for a while and are now feeling a gentle pull to look again. That longing can be a sign of God inviting you home. God never forces; He invites, and the decision to return is always yours.
No matter how long you have been away, you can always come home. You may begin by attending Mass, reaching out to a parish, or simply spending time in prayer. A parish community can help you rediscover your faith, perhaps more deeply than before, and encounter Christ’s love, mercy, and hope in your life.
On Catholicscomehome.org, you will find information about the Catholic Church, including topics such as Mary and the saints, marriage and divorce, the Mass and the sacraments, and confession.
You may also deepen your understanding of Catholic teaching by reading the Catechism of the Catholic Church or the United States Catholic Catechism for Adults.
Attending Mass is a meaningful way to begin or renew your faith journey. It offers time for prayer, worship, and connection with others in the parish community.
While Advent and Lent can be natural times to return, you are welcome at any time of year. Many parishes also offer opportunities for those returning to the faith, including Bible studies, small groups, volunteer service, parish events, and conversations with parish staff.
To learn more, visit the events section of our website or use the “Find a Parish” tool to explore parish life and connect with a local community.
If you are carrying burdens from your time away from the Church, Christ offers healing, mercy, and freedom through the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
We invite you to check with your local parish for confession times and consider celebrating this sacrament as a meaningful step on your journey home.
