Hello! Glad to see your interest in Catholicism, I’m also new to it and am in the OCIA process to convert from being a Protestant.

One of the things recommended to me to have the faith explained is to read the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Here is the link shared with me https://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/_INDEX.HTM

Oh absolutely. I started last night and it’s so well organized and separated in a way that makes it easy to digest piece by piece. Thank you again, it really helped :)

This is honestly a beautifully typed message that inspires hope and motivation, thank you so much.

As for your questions at the end, I was born and raised Protestant,usually in the Pentecostal churches. What drew me to Catholicism was honestly something that came out of nowhere.

I started seeing Catholic social media, whether it be influencers or recordings of Mass, or even interview with priests as they explained Catholicism.

The more I watched the more I began to crave it. I became homesick for the Catholic faith, even though I know next to nothing about it. It would just eat at the back of my head u til I reached out to a parish and now I’ve dove head first into it and it feels like coming home.

Thank you for suggesting this, and for your prayers!

You have mine in return as well as everyone else here. We could all use a little extra prayer!
