Come as You Are
Heath Vogel
In this episode, we feature Heath Vogel, the Sacraments Coordinator. Heath, who was raised as a Protestant and served as a pastor for 15 years, made the bold decision to convert to Catholicism 7 years ago. In this episode, he shares his inspiring journey into the Catholic Church.
Heath began to doubt some aspects of his faith and decided to embark on a journey to discover the truth. During his search, he stumbled upon the works of St. Ignatius of Antioch, a trusted confidant of John the Apostle. In these writings, St. Ignatius spoke of the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. After reading and contemplating his writings along with the writings of the early church fathers, Heath knew that he had to become a Catholic.
