How I Got Here

                 Me with the deacon and priest when I was confirmed at the Easter Vigil in 2011

I was baptized at about four or five weeks old, as a Catholic, but my family moved away from Catholicism so I never practiced.  When my son was seven years old, and all his friends were receiving First Holy Communion, he wanted to know why we weren't doing it.  He said, "You said we were Catholic."  So, we started going to Mass every week and I realized that it would be good for me to actually become a "real" Catholic.

I went through RCIA but it took a little longer because the first year, my MS was acting up.  I finally became a "real" Catholic at the Easter Vigil in 2011.

I thought I'd blog about being a "new" Catholic because it has changed my life and I just want to share this experience!  It's been a really great journey!  So I'll share my thoughts on being Catholic and how it works for us!

Here is a link to my favorite litany that I first heard at the Easter Vigil Mass when I was confirmed and first received Communion.  There is something about this that really gets to me.
