Children Fallen Away From the Catholic Church? We should try this campaign in the US.

(Catholic.org) The bishops' conference of England and Wales is sponsoring a campaign uniting mothers everywhere who pray for their children to come back to the Church for Christmas.

The bishop encouraged all people, but mothers in particular, to participate in a novena of prayer from Dec. 12 to Dec. 20.


He added, "By the grace of God let's pray that thousands experience a deep encounter with the living God and that the invitations we issue to 'come home' are warmly received."

  1. Why do you think so many children have fallen away from the Church?

  2. I am guessing that you are interpreting "children" to mean young sons and daughters. I was referring to our grown children, those sons and daughters who are not practicing the Faith they were raise in.

    And that is something that grieves many parents.
