The picture of being home for Christmas touches a longing deep within us. The Christmas season may intensify it, but the feeling is timeless. Whether it is Dorothy trying to get back to Kansas or George Bailey discovering that it really is a wonderful life, it’s a common reality that we all share - a basic human longing for a place to call home. The truth about every one of us is that we are lost … homesick, runaway children who long to come home to God. We are created for a living, loving, growing relationship with God. Nothing else, regardless of how much we pay for it or how much we give away to achieve it, can satisfy that hunger.
Perhaps you’ve simply drifted away from the Church and God, or stopped attending Church on a regular basis, or maybe you’re angry with the Church or God. No matter how long you’ve been away or for whatever reason, you’re welcome to come home. Your faith community misses you and is incomplete without you, especially this time of the year.
We are the Church, a community of broken, sinful disciples striving to do better, but we are also a community of faith-filled disciples who pray for, nurture, and support one another during life’s ups and downs. It’s tough to journey through the hardships of life without the support of a loving and supportive faith community.
It doesn’t really matter how old you are or how many years you’ve been away from the Church; you can always reclaim your Catholic faith. We welcome you to “Come Home For Christmas.”
