We missed you!

We are happy that you landed on this page, and that you're considering returning to the Catholic faith, presuming you've already been baptized, had First Communion and have been confirmed. If you're missing one or more of these Sacraments contact the parish office or click on the sacraments tab above to find more information. 

There are many good reasons for taking a second look at Catholicism, one thing to keep in mind is that this isnt a place filled with "perfect people" this is far from the reality. When we proclaim that the Church is holy, it isn't a statement about the human institution, because whenever you have people involved, it often riddled with a messiness which not need detract from the beautiful reality of the Church. Instead, Christ instituted His Church and that's why it's holy, and that's why you belong here. 

With that in mind here is what you can do next. 

Step 1: Reconnect with the grace of the Eucharist. In order to do so, one should first go to the Sacrament of Reconciliation (you have our parish hours for the Sacrament on our homepage). Going to confession after a long time can be intimidating. So one useful tip is to let the priest you’re confessing to, know how long you’ve been away and that you’re nervous.
Many priests are more than happy to gently lead you through your confession. If necessary, call the parish to arrange a confession time rather than going to the regularly scheduled times if you think that would be more beneficial. 

Step 2: No one can be Catholic alone. Join our parish (Parish registration form), to get to know the people here. One of the many beautiful things about Catholicism is that our faith is not a solitary endeavor. Every baptized Catholic is a part of the Body of Christ. We are called to worship God together at least once a week. You have our Mass times listed on our homepage. 

Step 3: Mass +1. Going to Mass is essential, but it's also important to take a further step and connect with something in our parish. We have many ministries that are always looking for new members (see our Ministry ), and it's a great way to connect with your fellow Catholics. 

Don’t be discouraged by how much you have to do to get back into the rhythm of Catholic life. You’re not going to turn into a perfect Catholic overnight. It’s a step-by-step process. 

To close, here’s what Jesus had to say about those who return to Him after having been away: “I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance” (Luke 15:7).
