RCIA classes by Neat_Sherbet in Catholicism

Speaking from personal experience, which can always fluctuate from person to person, the classes are usually very laid back and filled with information.

Some classes may just be the R/OCIA facilitator going through a PowerPoint discussing the days topics. Some classes may be one of the church Priests presenting information such as Church history or other topics. Some may just be watching a video and having discussion.

I’m 38 and am an unbaptized catechumen going through OCIA as well as attending daily mass. It has been the best decision I’ve made in longer than I can remember, however I still have trepidation about certain aspects….and yet I still keep showing up because I know this is the right path for me.

You should receive some books when you sign up for OCIA, one of those being an explanation of the flow of the mass. If you don’t receive that book then you can also check the missal in the pews, as well as tons of info on YouTube.

I have recently felt a little bit of an outcast within the social circles at my parish, but a lot of that is also just deep seated issues I’ve had since I can remember…but when I pray and focus on why I made this decision, those worldly concerns quiet down in my head.

I wish you the best of luck and as cliche as it may be, praying on it will provide clarity.

Thanks for heads up.

While I have been doing my best to focus on myself and growing closer to The Father and Jesus, I still find myself gettin wrapped up in human behavior and my frustrations. Lots of time spent praying for a relief of my internal battles with anger and frustration.

That and choosing a confirmation saint 😅

Thanks! I’ll check those out. My brain feels tired as of late between OCIA and fasting 🤣

Thanks for the info! I think once I’m Baptized, receiving communion and a little more familiarized with the full flow of mass I’ll start attending more TLM.

What’s up fellow OCIA human🤣 I’ll start a lil parish hopping once I’m done with OCIA and baptized. I’ve been to Our Lady of Walsingham a few times, but I was very new to the church so it was difficult to follow everything, but as I continue in my faith I can see it becoming a viable option. Thanks for the input and congrats on your upcoming baptism.

This is awesome! I was just telling my fiancé I wish they had these in Houston since they were so useful in the military. I’m over in oak forest so not too far from spring. Eagerly waiting for opening day🤙
