Me, too! 2017

I was Baptist. Between my siblings and our children, one remains Baptist, one non-denom, I’m Catholic, one nothing. None of our six adult children/spouses attend.

I have a couple siblings who married outside the faith and no longer go to Mass afaik.
 
My wife and one of her sisters still go. Pretty much everyone else have stopped going. I have some Protestant cousins who attend a nondenominational church. They weren’t happy I became Catholic. So many to pray for.
 
Out of my extended family (18 cousins) a grand total of two still go to mass, myself included. My sister doesn’t go either. I’m stunned how few people attend church nowadays.
 
My 27 year old son doesn’t practice and even said he was atheist for a while. I really pray hard for his conversion of heart. I hope that the example of his brother and sister who are both heavily involved in their faith, can also rub off on him.
 
My grandmother, the middle child of a family of five is now the only Catholic in her family. Her four sisters fell away from the church, though they are still Christian. That said, one of them still attends a Catholic Church (without receiving Communion of course) when she comes up for Thanksgiving. As for closer family members, they are all still faithful practicing Catholics.
 
Yes, sadly I do. I am the only one who goes at the moment. My parents used to go sporadically but they don’t go at the moment. They are all in my prayers constantly.
 
It’s sad :cry: to read all these examples. The devil has done a thorough job on our culture!
Let’s keep being an example of hope, faith, and charity to our family and friends!!

Yes. Everyone in my family no longer go to Mass. Unfortunately talking to them doesn’t help.
 
This is quite a sad thread to read. Especially the comments about how quickly centuries of faith can be lost in a family in one generation. But then I also think of my own protestant family, and how in one generation I have changed my family and converted to the Catholic faith! I pray I will have children and pass the faith on to them!

I entered the church in 2017, I remember thinking about how it took 500 years after the reformation for someone in my family to get back to the Catholic Church. I’m hoping in 500 years my family will still be Catholic!
 
I don’t really know or talk to the majority of my family, but that’s just how it is.
 
Yes.

I have Masses said for them and pray constantly.
Luckily we have a good relationship.
 
I am the only one. My mom had five children. We all lapsed. I came back about five years ago. My mother was a faithful Catholic, belonged to altar rosary and other groups. We all drifted off as young adults. I became my mother’s caregiver when she became ill. I started back to church, and my mom was homebound. Going o Eucharistic Adoration really brought me back. My husband is non practicing Orthodox. My adult children do not attend. I feel spiritually lonely.
