Returning Catholics

If you have any questions about returning to your Catholic faith, please contact any of our priests or Carole Yaney, Director of Adult Formation.

The Catholic Church celebrates when those who have been away from the Catholic faith come back to it. In considering coming back to the Catholic faith, you may have some questions or concerns. The parish community at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church would like to walk with you on your journey back to your Catholic faith.

If you would like to speak to someone about returning to your Catholic faith, please contact the parish office at 260-432-0268 or complete the form below.

The Catholic Church is the largest Christian denomination in the United States, accounting for about 25 percent of the country’s population.We are very large family! Since the Church is a family, we miss those Catholics who may have left the Church or who have stopped participating in its vibrant liturgy and sacramental life. Perhaps you or someone you know are in this situation and do not know how to come back or how to become active again. The first thing you need to know is that you are always welcome back. The Church misses you and asks that you prayerfully consider coming back home as an active member.

If you are exploring the possibility of coming back to the Catholic faith, we would be honored to walk that journey with you by listening to your concerns, answering your questions, and helping you to discern God's calling in your life. You are important to us and we have been praying for you to come back home to your Catholic faith.

If you would prefer to initially learn about returning to the Catholic faith on your own, Catholics Come Home is a great way to start. Catholics Come Home is a non-profit, independent charity whose purpose is to invite inactive Catholics, and others searching for a faith home, to the Catholic faith. Their informative and interactive website helps to answer questions about Church teachings and gives an overview of the Catholic faith. Some of its founders and supporters recently returned to the Catholic faith and want to share their positive experiences with others. Many never left the Church, but recently grew to understand and appreciate their Catholic faith more deeply. All feel part of a big Catholic family, who sincerely hope others will also find more peace, real answers, and true happiness through the gift of faith.
