“The Church must be a place of mercy freely given, where everyone can feel welcomed, loved, forgiven and encouraged to live the good life of the Gospel.” ~ Pope Francis
“Look all you want. You’re simply not going to find the life you were made for outside of the one who made you for LIFE.
You may have tried and failed to be the Lord of your own life.
You may have tried and failed to be the savior of the world. You may have tried and failed to find happiness your own way.
Try Jesus. Not only can He point you to that “something more” you’ve always been looking for—He IS that something more. He IS joy, love, peace, and eternal life.
Why live without that?
I want to invite you to sit for a minute and imagine Jesus looking at you from the cross with great love.
Let Him look at you.
Zoom in on His eyes. What are they telling you?
He’s there for you. He died for you. If you were the only person to ever exist, He’d have done it all—being born, coming, dying, rising—just for you. That’s how much He loves you.” Read more from 'Real Life Catholic' here
We invite you to take a step closer. We invite you to take a step in faith. Please view our OCIA Page and reach out to our Adult Faith Formation Coordinator, Jeffrey Tiel to start a conversation. By joining our Faith Formation classes, you don’t automatically have to commit to becoming Catholic. OCIA (the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults, formally known as RCIA) helps you discover Catholicism more fully, alongside other individuals who are in the same boat as you, journeying towards Jesus with an open and willing heart!
Ultimately, you belong right here in the Catholic Church. If you have no knowledge of the Catholic Faith, you belong here. If you are a theologian, you belong here. If you struggle to accept Church teaching, you belong here. If you’re a sinner, you belong here! If you’re aspiring to grow in virtue, you belong here, too! The body of Christ is made up of all those Jesus died to save...and that’s you!
“The church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints.”
~ Abigail Van Buren
