Where's the religion gone?

Tweet

I don't know if it is a sign of the times or if it is the move i have made to this area. When i lived in the city Roman Catholic churches were overly abundant. Now i live in the country and here there are alot of other churches but few roman catholic. I watch on the news all of the big catholic schools closing up in the city. What about our kids? What about mine? I have to admit that i have not belonged to a church regularly for about 13- 14 yrs. But i feel as though i should and i want to for my kids. i went to church every sunday as a kid. With out my mom. i just went. I made my communion and even seeked out teen groups as i got older. I had my daughter when i was a teen and was too embarassed to go. i got up courage because i wanted her baptised and the priest ridiculed me and i never did go back. i've found excuse after excuse and now i have 3 unbaptised children. i want to change this. We talk about god and my oldest seems like i was about religion she has joined teen groups out here (at first for the events and friends but it grew into a love for God) She even went to bible camp last summer. i am finding though that the long diconnection from the church has made it harder for me to do this with the other two kids. I think it is important to keep the catholic churches funded and alive.
