This page offers a number of personal stories from people who have journeyed away from the practice of their Catholic faith. Some of the people featured were non Church-going Catholics for a short space of time, whilst others didn’t attend a Catholic Church for several decades. As you’ll discover, their reasons for not attending Church were very varied. What the people featured on this page have in common is that they witness to having rediscovered something that, for them, is the pearl without price.
