The Catholic Church is the largest Christian denomination in the United States, accounting for about 25 percent of the country’s population.
The Church is a vibrant, active community of believers which continues to have a positive influence on the lives of many people. However, there are people who for one reason or another have stopped participating in the Church and attending Mass.
We respect their decision. We live in a busy multi-cultural society. We can understand that people are searching for a deeper sense of meaning, for a closer relationship with God, and for a more authentic spiritual identity. Their inquiry is sincere and honest.
Since the Church is a family, we are not perfect. We are always improving our community trying to do it better. We understand your concerns. You deserved to make your own experience. Now, listen the voice of God inviting you to come back to his family.
Perhaps you or someone you know are in this situation and do not know how to come back or how to become active again. The first thing you need to know is that you are always welcome back. The Church misses you and hopes that you will finally choose to come home with a renewed heart.
Instead of walking alone in the path of faith, it is better to walk together with other brothers and sisters in the community of the Church.
We are here to help you. We offer to you our humble assistance.
Contact our priests by e-mail or phone and they will clarify your questions.

Life-Giving Wounds Retreat
May 30 - June 1
A Retreat For Adult Children of Divorced/Separated Parents
Dealing with our parents' divorce is not easy but confronting this wound with faith can allow us to find great healing. We hope that you will become part of our supportive community and receive the many graces available through this ministry.
Healing Retreat
Attending the three-day retreat is a great way to start this journey of healing. The retreat focuses on discovering our identity as children of God, although it also focuses on overcoming the effects of parental divorce, forgiving our parents, and connecting with others from this background.
This retreat has something for any adult child of divorce or separation, no matter how much healing you have received or need.
The weekend includes presentations, small group sharing, adoration, spiritual direction, and Mass. This three-day retreat is the centerpiece of this ministry.
Themes covered on the weekend include:
• Finding Our Deepest Identity
• Faith and Our Relationship with God
• Love, Dating, and the Sacrament of Marriage
• Loneliness
• Anger and Anxiety
• False Guilt and Shame
• Forgiveness and Reconciliation
• Family Boundaries
• The Christian Meaning of Suffering
• Healing and the Sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist

And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age."
Matthew 28: 18-20 (RSV-CE)
