Welcome
This Catholic Utah Mission invites you to observe the miracle of the
2000-year-old Catholic Apostolic Mass
The Rosary She Wasn’t Supposed to Hold
She was told never to walk into a Catholic Church. But one day in Logan, Utah—she did.
She wasn’t met with arguments.
She wasn’t handed a pamphlet.
She was simply met by a few quiet Catholics… and the real presence of Christ.
It didn’t take long. Tears welled up, and she whispered the words that changed everything:
“God loves me as I am. Not as I think I should be.”
A year later—after deep struggle, silence, and the fear of losing the community she loved—
her father stood in a Catholic Church and watched his daughter be baptized into Christ.
It was not easy for him. But he was there.
I could feel his pain.
But I could also see her joy—the kind only Christ can give.
That night, he handed her an unexpected gift:
A Rosary.
Do you believe in miracles?
Stick around.
You May Be Here Quietly. Cautiously. Maybe Even Secretly.
That’s okay.
This mission isn’t about pressure. It’s not about debate.
It’s about offering a safe place to search—and a soft place to land.
Especially for those in Utah who’ve been told not to look.
If you're feeling something stir—a question, a restlessness, a hunger that hasn’t gone away—
this might be the beginning of the most important journey of your life.
Whether you're just curious about Catholicism, want to visit a Mass,
or are quietly exploring the 2000-year-old Catholic Faith, you are not alone.
This mission is here to walk with you, not ahead of you.
The Faith & Liberty Bot — Ask Anything, Anytime
You don’t have to meet with anyone.
You don’t have to explain yourself.
You can simply ask—privately and honestly—and receive answers grounded in 2,000 years of Catholic truth:
Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the teachings of the Church Christ founded.
No pressure.
No judgment.
Just truth—answered with love.
If You’re Hurting
If you’ve ever felt invisible...
If you’ve ever thought about giving up...
Please pause.
This is not the end.
You are not crazy.
You are not beyond hope.
You are not alone.
Jesus Christ loves you—
Not once you're better.
Not once you're healed.
But right now. Exactly as you are.
This mission exists for them.
It exists for you.

A Personal Note from Rich
As you explore this site, you’ll find little nuggets of faith—handed to me by others along my own journey home.
I was baptized in St. Jerome Catholic Church, next to Utah State University, in 1999.
For fourteen years, I had the honor of walking with others through RCIA, even as I kept learning myself.
Now, 25 years later, I’m still learning. Still falling. Still being loved—by the same God who met me where I was.
One word sums it all up:
Grateful.
Grateful that you are here.
Grateful you’re willing to take a look.
