liseski Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 After a year of working towards this....RCIA....talking with all and sundry...I was received, confirmed and took first Communion at the Easter Vigil. I had a bit of fun getting my baptismal certificate. It turns out that my folks didn't baptise me at the same church that they did my siblings. They decided to do it out at the base where my father was stationed at. After many emails with the United Church archivist, I finally got the email address for Ottawa (They hold the military records. and that base is long gone) I didn't think it was going to be here in time, so my godmother swore an affidavit. The copy from Ottawa and her affidavit got here on the same day, so I was good to go. The Vigil was really the most amazing night of my life. It was a wonderful journey to get here, and now it continues... I joined these forums a while back, but stopped coming as it was messing with my head a bit as I was going through the RCIA process. Thought I would come back again and give it another shot. How are you doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife was crying through the baptisms during the Vigil. Praise be to God! I completely think you made the right decision before. I think there are some conversations here best kept away from those studying to become Catholics. I think a good rule of thumb is to stick with Rome and you'll be alright. Welcome!

I've been going towards Catholicism for 3 years and finally got to this point. I'm a bit scared now actually, trying to figure out how to live life as a Catholic! But someday, it may all be natural to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AccountDeleted Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Treasure this great gift and guard it well. There are many lapsed Catholics and cafeteria Catholics and I know because I became one for many years. God has been so kind to me and now I guard my faith as the greatest treasure I could ever have. It is the pearl of great price. Welcome and may every day of the rest of your life be filled more and more with the glory and grace of God.
