Your Invitation to Come 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, the 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.
Do You Wish to Speak with Someone About Coming Home
"Time to sit and think, Jesus sat by the sea. He often did. It rested him, the rhythm of the water moved by the wind, and the gentle sound of the waves as they reached for the shore and then slid easily back again to their home. If his friends let him, he could sit there for hours enjoying the beauty of the sea as it lay between the mountains that held it as in cupped hands..."
