Come Home Again
Do you know someone who has left the Church? 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. Many people can’t explain why they stopped coming to church; many just drifted away. Most non-practicing Catholics are simply waiting for an invitation to return. You can make a tremendous difference in someone’s life simply be reaching out to them and telling them that we miss them and would like for them to come back home to our Church family. If you or someone you know are thinking of coming home, to the Catholic Church to "come home again." If you have any questions, or would like additional information, please call Kelly Flessner at 972-881-4354 or Debbie Betz at 972-423-4715, ext. 232.
