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.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"responsive-embed widescreen\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z_E6Lw09z2Y\" width=\"570\" height=\"346\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholicscomehome.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Catholics Come Home<\/a> is a non-profit, independent charity whose purpose is to invite inactive Catholics, and others searching for a faith home, to the Catholic faith. Their informative and interactive website helps to answer questions about Church teachings and gives an overview of the Catholic faith. Some of its founders and supporters recently returned to the Catholic faith and want to share their positive experiences with others. Many never left the Church, but recently grew to understand and appreciate their Catholic faith more deeply. All feel part of a big Catholic family, who sincerely hope others will also find more peace, real answers, and true happiness through the gift of faith.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<div class='content-column one_third last_column'><div style=\"padding-left:5px;\"><blockquote><p>Please feel free to contact the parish office to set up an appointment with one of the priests of the parish.
