Catholics Come Home

One of the more meaningful efforts in bringing Catholics, and others, back to the fullness of truth has been the direct result of an organization aptly titled, Catholics Come Home. This organization, working closely with the Church, has developed an amazing website and has produced one heck of an ad campaign. The ad campaign, which consists of TV commercials, radio and billboard ads, has been credited with an unprecented return of fallen away Catholics in those dioceses where they were successfully run. There are 3 basic commercials, one is simply called "epic". In it, the history of the church is laid out in a manner I suspect most disinterested or fallen away Catholics would hardly recognize. Another commercial, titled the "movie" gives all of us a chance to look back at our lives and recognize our failures but to trust in God's loving mercy. Finally, the last commercial is testimonials of Catholics who have returned to the fullness of truth.

One of the more interesting reads on this remarkable site is the Top 10 list. It should be of no surprise that the #1 thing that brings Catholics home is the hunger for the Eucharist. No where else, save the Catholic Church, can one claim the full presence, body, blood, soul and divinity in the Holy Eucharist.

I hope you will take a look. The site is http://catholicscomehome.org/
