"My son and his wife will not attend our First Communions or Confirmations because they don’t want their child exposed to 'Catholic rituals.' It has driven a wedge through the core of our family."

"We were always known as 'the perfect Catholic family.' I can just hear people saying, 'Well, I guess they weren’t as good as we thought they were!'"

"My child has left the Faith and I’m devastated. What should I do?"

You are not alone in longing for your loved one to come home to the Catholic Church.

Research shows that 50% of people who were raised Catholic leave the Church.

For every 1 person who enters the Church, 6 more walk out the door.

When you've tried everything to bring your wayward loved one home, it can seem like there's nothing else you can do.

But there is hope.

Brandon Vogt is here to give you something new.

In Return: How to Draw Your Child Back to the Church, popular Catholic author Brandon Vogt offers real and proven strategies that can have a powerful effect on a soul.

"I can’t guarantee that the steps in this book will definitely lead your child back to the Church. But I can promise these strategies will create the best possible environment to facilitate his return. They will increase the odds dramatically."
—Brandon Vogt

You’ll learn why individuals leave the Church and where they are going. Armed with this foundational knowledge, Brandon will help you build a strategy for your loved one’s return.

He’ll show you why prayer, sacrifice, and fasting are the key weapons at your disposal. You’ll learn how to plant seeds and start the conversation with a loved one.

When your loved one is listening, Brandon will teach you how to move the dialogue forward before finally closing the loop as your child is reunited with the Church.

God is the Father of the prodigal Son Who never loses hope for His child’s return—and you shouldn’t, either.

Take heart from one parent’s success!

A painting of St. Monica and St. Augustine

St. Monica prayed for seventeen years for her dissolute son’s conversion.

God answered her prayers abundantly by transforming Augustine into one of the greatest saints the Church has ever known.

In St. Monica and The Power of Persistent Prayer, you’ll learn how she persevered.

This book is so much more than a biography.

Ask St. Monica to intercede for you as you learn to:

Reflect on the patterns in her relationship with her son
Examine her patience and trust in God
Meditate on a passage from the writings of St. Augustine
Adhere to the practical resolution provided
Pray with the ancient prayers of the Church

As St. Monica’s prayers for her son, St. Augustine, demonstrate, no one is ever beyond the power of God and a praying parent.

These transformative books will renew your hope for your child’s safe return to the Church and show you how to effectively support them on their journey home.
