I don’t trust the Church and I haven’t been to Mass in years

It’s understandable; you’re not alone. Many Catholics who suffer the pain of divorce come back after a long time, hoping to find some solid footing, but not really knowing what to expect.  We’ll help you find your way.

Not everyone in the Church is bad

If you’ve been scandalized by news of clergy or laity in the Church, disaree with what you’ve heard, or been personally hurt by someone in the Church, consider this: In the field of medicine there are insurance scams, rip off artists, doctors who should lose their licenses, and of course a whole world of mysterious medical talk that we really don’t understand.  It does not follow that the field of medicine and all doctors are bad.

Jesus is your Great Physician

It’s the same with the Catholic Church. Jesus, the Great Physician, built His church as a hospital; through it He can—and most importantly He WANTS TO—work healing wonders in your heart and soul. But you might encounter some less-than-perfect people along the way, even a “Nurse Ratched” or two! Don’t give up.   Every one of the Church teachings on love, dating, marriage, sex, separation, civil divorce, annulment, and remarrage MAKE SENSE if you are open and take the time to learn.

You are much loved

Please keep an open mind; you are welcome. We are here for you and want to introduce you to the Church in a way you maybe have never known. Don’t let the past keep you away from the gifts, the blessings, and the strength He wants for you. For more information keep reading the short, informative blogs on this site.
