How do I come back to Church?
It may be that in the past you regularly came to Church or went to a Catholic School but lost touch later on.
We are always very happy to welcome anyone who wants to come to Church or to come back if they have been away.
The Church is a huge family; the family of God, and he loves you without fail and wants you to be close to him. He wants you to let him into your heart so that you may enter his family home.
The door is always open to you and no matter how long it is that you have been away we would be delighted to see you again.
