Our Catholic faith is the largest Christian family in the world. Our Church is a vibrant and growing family, but we miss our brothers and sisters who have not been to Mass lately.
God loves you so much that He will not stop searching for you, reaching out to you, seeking you.
Saint Augustine, a convert to the faith at age 33, once said, “You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.”
Jesus wants to invite you back into His big, warm and loving Catholic family in the Church He founded 2,000 years ago. He’s calling you home, but the choice is yours…
We are family. We’ve missed you. Welcome home!
About the Catholics Come Home Campaign
Catholics across the U.S., including Kitsap County and Western Washington, are inviting their neighbors, relatives and co-workers back to their church family for the new year, using creative television commercials and an interactive Web site developed by Catholics Come Home.org.
Catholics Come Home is a lay, not-for-profit Catholic organization which creates and broadcasts media messages extending an invitation to inactive Catholics and others to join the Catholic faith family. “Our invitation is simple,” said President and Founder Tom Peterson, “God loves you. We miss you. Welcome home!”
The grassroots Catholics Come Home.org movement is able to air television commercials in the Archdiocese of Seattle thanks to the support of thousands of practicing Catholic families in Western Washington who want to share the blessings and benefits of their Catholic faith with friends, relatives, neighbors and coworkers.
If you have been away from the Catholic Church, are interested in becoming Catholic, or simply want to help or grow in your faith, we invite you to visit CatholicsComeHome.org today! For information about returning to the Catholic Church or becoming Catholic at our parish, please call our parish office at 360-479-3777.
