[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I left the Catholic Church. We now attend a Presbyterian Church mostly but not exclusively for the community connection.

Op I honestly think a Catholic Church isn’t the right choice for this. [/quote]

The Catholic Church is really not the right church if you are primarily interested in socializing. Most people there will be cradle to grave Catholics who are not there for socializing. People go to mass because is a weekly requirement for Catholics. They will notice if you take communion or not (and you don't meet the requirements). Go to an Episcopalian Church or Presbyterian one. You will be most welcomed at a non-demononational evangelical church because they are trying actively to convert people. There are large churches with lots of social events. I ended up going to one because my child got invited to youth group. I still have doubts but the people there are really friendly, there are many social opportunities, and everyone is really nice to newcomers. It is a more liberal one but it really isn't that liberal if that makes sense.

UU church just seemed a little wacky to me. I tried a couple of times but the second time some lady started taking about how she was really a Wiccan.[/quote]
