Most relaxed Catholic Churches in the area?

My draw back to the church, is I felt something in life was missing, started going and have found a priest who I really enjoy listening to and has had a positive impact on me. I check some of the boxes as a Catholic, but like most, don’t check them all. While I feel very welcome at this church, I’m always wondering if I’m a good fit?

Good for you! If you feel good then you’re a good fit. We are all works in progress finding how we fit and growing in faith.

Thanks for the encouragement. I still wrestle with the fact that I’m not in line with 100% of the Church and it’s teachings. No judgement, but most other Catholics I know aren’t either- they just won’t admit it. Like I said, at current church, with current priest, I feel welcome. I can’t say this has always been the case.
