Do you know a family member or friend who has been "away" from the Catholic Church for a while? St Michael's Church has a mission to help "Catholics Come Home."

     Catholics Come Home is a national organization working to help Catholics return to the church. Any Catholic who wants to come home to the Church is invited at any time. Also, during Lent, St Michael's has offered a 5 week evening class of 1 hour each week. 

     Studies show that people who practice their Christian faith and pray regularly are healthier and happier. Experience a positive difference in your life by visiting St. Michael’s and encountering Jesus through the sacraments. Do it for yourself. Welcome home.

     If you want to discuss coming home to the church with a member of St Michael’s parish, please call Don and Corinne Budd  at (727) 771-2594.
