Are you contemplating a return to Catholic faith and practice? Do you wonder if there's a place for you in today's Catholic Church?
The answer is yes! In baptism, you became a member of the Church. No matter your reasons for being away, God's love is, always has been and always will be here for you.
There are many reasons that people separate from the Church. These reasons should not be discounted. We encourage you to look further into those reasons in the hope of identifying a way back. This process may require small steps or maybe you're ready to dive right back in! Our hope is to provide you with a place from which a return to your Catholic faith can take place, reconciliation and healing can be found if needed, and your friendship with Jesus can continue to grow.
If you would like to discuss a return to the Catholic faith, email Fr. Joseph at jasebastian@sbdiocese.org or call (951) 272-3523.
