I always felt drawn to the Catholic Faith, even as a child. My great aunt was a devout Catholic (not a cradle Catholic) and was looked down upon by my family who were Protestant. She was so loving and caring and always had such a peaceful and cheerful heart that it made me wonder what was different in her life as opposed to others? I truly believe that it was her devotion to the Catholic faith.
The RCIA program helped me to understand and learn so much about Catholicism and its doctrines. The weekly studies were extremely helpful in gaining knowledge about Mass, Adoration, Mother Mary, the Saints, the Stations of the Cross and so much more!
Growing up protestant, I had heard very negative remarks and stories about Catholicism and the RCIA program completely dispelled the myths and fallacies.
I continually reference my notebook and papers from the program. RCIA and its teachers were the beginning of this great journey into the Catholic faith for me and my husband.
