Chances are, you’ve seen the ads on NET TV from the Catholics Come Home campaign – a series of spots aimed at bringing people into the Catholic Church. The spots may seem new, but the very first Catholics Come Home ads aired in 1998.

Since then, the campaign success has been nothing less than phenomenal. The people behind it claim it’s brought one hundred thousand Catholics back to the Church.

What’s the secret to this success? Our Francesca Maxime sat down recently with the Founder and President of Catholics Come Home, Tom Peterson. Here is part 1 of that interview. Click Here for Part 2

It is interesting to look at what does or can bring people back or even to convert. Some of us are slow learners or at least slow to recognize God place in our lives. If I hadn’t have ended up a hopeless alcholic and drug addict and nearly dead at the age of 36 ,I may never have let God find me.Now at 53 I watch and find that there are so many people that hare where I was that I can’t help but try to spread the good word and works of God. What ever it takes to make some one realize that they are not the center of the universe and there is some thing out there more powerful than ourselves is what we have to do. Many thanks God ,I owe my life to you!

Great interview! I tried to use the link to “share this story” on facebook, but it didn’t work. There seems to be a problem loading the thumbnail.
