I'm "non-practicing" too! My mom used to have a fit, since after 16 years at all-girl catholic school and getting her graduate degree from another catholic school, she still wants to go to mass every day.
I think it still bugs her a bit, but she's very understanding that it is not that I am a non-believer, just that I have my own way of expressing my faith. I also think it makes her feel better to light candles for me (but that could have something to do with my job, too). Even though I'm no longer in a LT relationship, she still has a minister (also a former Catholic, and a very cool guy) on call for my wedding (someday). Like I said, she's not pushy about things anymore. I guess she figures if He hasn't taken me out yet, I must not be that bad afterall (LOL)
