convert to catholicism

I was exhausted from returning from Bohol this week, but I went to class on Wednessday. I had a great talk with Father Dennis afterwords. I am going to talk to him about counseling for the girls and I. I went to Mass twice while in Tagbilaran, and I intend to go on Saturday evening.

Well I spoke to our parochial Vicar today who leads the RCIA classes. I called him almost 2 weeks ago, but he only just returned my call. In any case, the RCIA classes are on hiatus during the holiday season and will resume on Jan. 14 and I will be there.

I am interested in attending RICA education. I think I will ask about this at Mass tomorrow.

Hi guys. I’d like to suggest an activity for this team. I’ve been systematically cheering people doing this & inviting them to join this team, as my daily allocation of cheers permits.

I’d like to ask you to do the same, even if it’s only the cheering part. There’s nothing like getting support on a regular basis to spur us on to our goals!

God bless!

I have been baptised as an Anglican, but I have never believed in it.
I only went to church once, for my family, and they are not even religous.
I hate the fact that they baptised me there, since they have made the choice for me, and have not let me decide.
I am from N.Z, and hate my heritage.
Our family came from England, a very, very non-Catholic country.
I do not mean to be offensive, but I never liked the English, and I would have loved to have had an Italian heritage.
I even lie to kids at school that I have Italian heritage, and can speak Latin, and they believe me!
I know it is bad, but I am just so depressed, and I would like some people to think I am of a Catholic lineage.
I believe in Catholicism, did not have an Anglican confirmation, which means that I am thankfully not Protestant, and I wish to become a priest.
I have been following Catholicism for two years, it fills me with joy, and I have never been more happy, but I still get quite depressed.
I would never, ever hurt myself, but, I sometimes wish that God would just strike me down and kill me.
I live in Saudi Arabia, and Christianity is banned.
I want to move back home, and live at a Catholic Boarding school to have my confirmation done, but mother is not sure if she can let me go, and wishes me to get exceptional grades before she can let me do that.
I do IGs, which is hard, is from Cambridge, and is English!
I do not know why a Catholic like me has to do such a snobby, Protestant, English system like that.
But, hey, they can believe what they want, but I do not want to be a part of it.
I love God more than anything, and find conversion extremely hard to attain.
Help me!

i missed RICA. i am going to make due with something else and come back to this maybe next september.

Several years ago, I was a well meaning protestant christian who wanted more out of my relationship with God. I wanted so much to know God better and to know where His True Church was. Like so many others, I thought I knew what Catholics believed, but I was given some very false information, which caused me to initially reject Catholicism before I got my facts straight. I believe the reason for my story being so common is simply because God’s True Church is more attacked and less understood than any other. I finally found my way through studying what the Church really believes and by seeking the answers the Church offers about its most misunderstood beliefs. I’ve now been Catholic for about 7 years and it is the best decision I’ve ever made. I’m here because I want to help those who are already open to the possibility of conversion—not to try to convince anyone. This is because I believe there are too many people out there who are earnestly seeking answers, to be spending my time trying to convince the unwilling. I believe in letting people make up there own minds. I’d be more than willing to help you if you are still seeking answers so that God may bless you by bringing you into the Fullness of Faith. May God bless all of you and I hope I can be of some help.

I have prayed a lot about this and I am clear that this is my path to a closer relationsip with God.

I was raised and spent my 20’s as a Baptist. In my 30’s I became a Charismatic . In my 40’s I began to lose interest in organized religion and by my late 40’s considered myself an Agnostic.

In January of this year – just weeks after my 50th birthday – I made the decision to covert to the Catholic church. The why is rather involved so let’s just say God was in it and leave it at that.

I’m still probing my doubts and questions. Just getting used to going to church every week again is an adjustment. But so far… I’m happily on the journey.

25 years ago I belonged to the Freewill Baptists..after being there for 10 years I left because of all the arguing and trouble in the congreation. I then went to Methodist where I am currently. Just a couple of days ago it hit me to check into catholicism. I don’t know why other than the Lord speaking to me.. I feel a kind of loss in my life like I’m missing something. Just unhappy. I called the local Catholic church this morning and talked with a nice lady that invited me to mass Sat. evening and Sun. morning. She informed me that she herself used to be a Methodist, but that she also felt an emptiness in her life. I am seriously considering this conversion. I know it will be a change from what I am use to, but I feel I am ready to make the move. Has anyone else felt this way?
