"May the Church be a place of God’s mercy and hope, where all feel welcomed, loved, forgiven and encouraged to live according to the good life of the Gospel. And to make others feel welcomed, loved, forgiven, and encouraged, the Church must be with doors wide open so that all may enter. And we must go out through these doors and proclaim the Gospel." - Pope Francis
Life is often complicated, filled with unexpected turns, peaks, and valleys. For some Catholics, the decision to leave the Church is an active and gradual process; for others, perhaps more sudden. For many, the process can better be described as "drifting away." Whatever your reason (or reasons) for parting with the Church, and whether you have been away for three weeks or thirty years, there's Good News: You Are Welcome Here!
How do I return to the Catholic Church?
