Tell him that he will burn in Hell if he doesn't.
That seems to be the Christian way of persuading others to do things.

Simple...explain to him the importance this has in your life, and explain this is not something that will change, so if the relationship continues to grow, it is something you want him to join you in.
And for now, maybe agree to alternate back and forth. Continue to discuss with him what he finds enjoyable about going to your church.
As for how long does o ne need to pray? Well, some prayers are answered today, some take time. God has a plan for all, and most of us don't get a sneak peak in His schedule planner. But I too will pray with you, in asking the King of Kings to draw your boyfriend into a personal relationship. I know you're a great person, and a relationship with you is probably awesome, but one with the Creator is even more incredible, wouldn't you agree?

Being raised a Catholic and confirmed Catholic, I can say it's hard to trust any other "non-denominational" church. There's one type of mass and it's the Catholic mass. Sorry he is not going to continuously attend this church of yours unless he decides not to be a Catholic. That's the Catholic way. A Catholic goes to mass. (that's a period).

You have to understand that he believes that any non Catholic is lost. You are attempting to take away his eternal life according to catholic doctrine.
Does your god threaten to torture Catholics? If not you might want to try getting used to his church, if not the relationship is doomed.

If you are learning about Jesus at your church, talk to him about what you are learning. THAT will bring your relationship deeper. talk to him honestly about what you are learning and how it is affecting you. and remember that Jesus called his people to be the church, not a building. You can help be "the church" for him. He might choose to go to your church after time, or he might not. But don't think that God is limited to just that building or your pastor. Be aware that God might have set up this situation so that he could use YOU.
and although it may be hard, talk to god about what is on your heart. wheather it be your boyfriend or something else, God wants to be a part of all aspects of your life. And i personally promise that things will get better if you share your burdens with him.

YOU show him the truth in scriptures.He will either receive them or reject them.
If he receives them then you have won him to more truth.
If he rejects them then remember the Bible says NOT to be unequally yoked with unbelievers and you will either have to compromise, by you both staying in your own churches and having a relationship which is against what GOD says to do, or you convert to catholicism.
Read John 3:1-5 and Acts 2:38 thats what the Apostles preached.

Tell him that it would really mean a lot to you if he would go with you! It may also help to tell him you will also visit his church. It may be out of tradition that he feels he should continue going. Then I would just pray about it and let the Lord lead Him there if that is where he should be.

Ask him if he would like to accompany you to your church. If he says no, don't push it. If he says yes, don't push it either. Either way let him make the decision. If you don't you might push him away by you actions.

It's not just praying. It's believing that God will handle everything. You have to truly and completely put everything in his hands. He will take care of you if you are serving him. Pray to him, do his will, and everything will fall into place for you. He has a plan for your life.
