Out of curiosity, what kept you away?
Out of curiosity, what kept you away?
I was asked the same question by my priest when I went to my first confession in 25 years. I stopped going to church reqularly and drifted away. He kept on calling to me and His calls finally got through my thick skull!
Thanks for asking Aquinasfan (as in Little Irish?)!

I'm now teaching RCIC to 9 high schoolers without a clue. Please send prayers.
3 of these kids aren't baptised, they all will be making 1st Confession, 1st Communion
and the Bishop wants them all Confirmed this year.
I have grave reservations about the Confirmation part especially considering that these
young adults have NO prior religious forming and rarely attend weekly Mass even now.
I don't understand the push to Confirm these young adults.
We don't need more nominal Catholics.
Sorry about the whining - my prayer list gets longer every day.
