All Are Welcome!
If you are not Catholic, but are interested in learning more, or if you used to be Catholic but you've been away, we hope the following resources will help answer your questions and guide you to the next step on your faith journey.
Interested in the Joining Catholic Church?
Interested in joining the Catholic Church? Wonderful! Your local Catholic church is ready to welcome you with open arms. But first, right where you are, in the quiet of your heart, recognize that God is near you. He created you out of love. He knocks on the door of your heart. Acknowledge his presence and ask him to guide you. For details about the process to become Catholic, read this guide. To get started, visit a parish near you.
Come Home, We Miss You!
Have you drifted away from the Catholic Church? If you would like to return, we want to help you. We understand you may have drifted away as a teenager or while attending college. Or you may have married, divorced and now think you are excommunicated. You may have had an abortion and feel guilty and ashamed. Or you may have been offended in some way by a representative of the Church.
Whatever the reason for leaving, we want to welcome you back. We know returning can be frightening. We want to remind you that the Catholic Church is made up of weak, sinful people, and we all rely on the mercy and forgiveness of a loving God. No matter how long you have been away, you are always welcome to return. Here is the Mass Schedule and Confession Times for Catholic parishs across Arkansas. To speak to someone about returning, contact a parish near you. To learn more, go to Rediscovering the Catholic Faith.
