Did you hear about Our Holy Father’s beautiful words on Pentecost about the role of the Blessed Mother in our celebration of this holy day?
Pope Benedict XVI said that “there is no Church without Pentecost” and “there is no Pentecost without the Virgin Mary.” Read more here.
Let us all continue to call on the intercession of our Blessed Mother as we enter into Ordinary Time again.

A Kind Message We Received from A former Protestant Clergy Member who entered the Catholic Church this past Easter:
“Congratulations on one the best designed websites I have seen in a long time! I was a Protestant Clergy for 20 years and came into the Church at the Easter Vigil this year. It will be a joy to refer my friends and family to your website as a credible response to their disbelief. Thank you so much!” -Thomas, MI

CatholicsComeHome.org In the News:
The Pontificia Università della Santa Croce in Rome hosted an international Church Communication Conference, where three hundred Catholic communicators from around the world were energized after hearing Tom Peterson, CCH President and Founder, discuss the sucess of the CCH TV campaigns in the U.S.
Attendees from across the globe, ranging from New Zealand to Germany, expressed enthusiasm about airing Catholics Come Home TV campaigns. Given this interest, our CCH team will soon translate our interactive website into Portuguese, German, French, Polish, Italian, Spanish, and maybe even Arabic!

Read & Watch Rome Reports TV News Agency: “Catholics Come Home: Commercials boost church attendance”, story below:
May 6, 2010. This commercial highlights the vital part the Catholic Church has played in establishing hospitals, churches, orphanages, and schools and its role in marriage, family life, Scripture and sacraments.
The same ad has also increased mass attendance by an average of 11 percent.
Aired in 12 archdioceses and dioceses around the United States, it addresses often misunderstood aspects of the Catholic faith.
Catholics Come Home, a non profit, broadcasts these messages for the purpose of reaching inactive Catholics, non-Catholics or even current Catholics so they can learn about the Church and live a deeper faith. The ads can also be seen at this website catolicosvoltemparacasa.org.
Only 33 percent of U.S. Catholics attend Mass on a weekly basis.
And while nearly one-in-three Americans were raised in the Catholic faith, today fewer than one-in-four describe themselves as Catholic.
Catholics Come Home hopes to change these numbers.

“The difficulty of explaining ‘why I am a Catholic’ is that there are ten thousand reasons all amounting to one reason: that Catholicism is true.” – G. K. Chesterton

We get the most inspiring e-mail testimonials you can image. We particularly enjoyed this one from a gentleman named Walter, telling us about his CatholicsComeHome.org car magnets on his F150 truck, and how people respond when they see them:
” I’m thrilled every time I see or hear an ad on the radio or television about Catholics Come Home.
I proudly display three Catholics Come Home circular magnetic plackards on my Ford 150 Pu truck and everywhere I go I see people look at them and on occasion I see them take out pen and paper and write down the web site . I donate whenever I can and always feel the great uplifting that comes when someone asks me what’s the purpose of this organization, and I’m very proud to explain to them the true history of my faith, The Faith that our Lord Jesus Christ founded!
As ever, your brother in Christ Jesus. Walter”

“I am a big fan of your commercials! I hear them on the radio and watch them on TV and it makes me so proud of being a Catholic.

Click to read a Catholic News Agency story about Our Holy Father’s recent comments on marriage as an instrument of salvation.
Here is an excerpt from the article, reminding us of the valuable role that marriage and family play in drawing u
s closer to virtue and salvation:
“‘Marriage is truly an instrument of salvation, not only for married people but for the whole of society,’ he underscored.
“He went on to explain that ‘like any worthwhile goal,’ it is demanding, challenging and calls us to sacrifice for the good of another while also inviting us to “nurture and protect the gift of new life.’
“The stable family, the Holy Father added, is the ‘first and most fundamental school for virtuous living and the qualities of good citizenship.'”
