You're Invited, So Come On Home!
I was born and raised Catholic, but I lost my connection to the Church. Although I did make a few attempts at reconciliation, I stayed away for a long time. In March 2003, I met Fr. Henry C. Frascadore, then pastor of the Church of St. Dominic in Southington, Connecticut. Shortly thereafter I spent time exploring the church’s web site and his “Daily Reflections.” These provided the wake up call and direction I needed. I took a leap of faith.
Most of us don’t have to look very far to find someone in our
circle of family and friends who is an inactive Catholic as I was.
Many people can’t explain why they stopped coming to church except
that life just got in the way. Some inactive Catholics bear a
tremendous amount of guilt, legitimate anger, or misinformation; but
they are afraid of rejection if they approach the Church. For a
variety of reasons, some may mistakenly think they are
excommunicated or unwelcome in the Catholic Church. Many are simply
waiting for that invitation to return. Consider this web site
a personal invitation to come home.
