[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my new years resolutions is to start going to church again. I just need help finding a church and would appreciate any recommendations.

Here's what I'm working with:

-My husband is Jewish and is actually pretty anti-Catholic. We have agreed to raise our son Catholic and he is good about not saying anything negative but will NOT participate in anything, go to mass, etc. So I need a church where I won't feel weird about going alone. This is probably my #1 criteria.

-I know that the Diocese of Arlington is one of the most conservative in the country and I am hoping for a church whose members are not so over the top that I will feel uncomfortable about not having a strong background in Catholic doctrine, a Jewish husband etc. It doesn't have to be "Catholic Lite," necessarily, or even liberal, but I am also not looking to be judged.

-I would love a church with lots of community events, maybe a school, or an active mother's group. My son is 2 years old and I'd love to just be involved with something that would help us meet other moms and kids.

-A dedicated children's mass would be great.

Any recommendations? Thank you![/quote]

So you hate catholics but want to raise your son Catholic? Do you hate your son?[/quote]
