When I was growing up, I almost never went to church. Although my parents were married in the Catholic Church, my mother was not a Catholic, nor practicing any religion before or since, and my father a “cradle Catholic” may have been only seeking to appease my grandparents. My father did want me and my siblings to share the experience he had of Catholic Schools and I went to a small Catholic school in Michigan where I grew up, until my parents were divorced after my 3rd grade year.
