Got baptized and confirmed at last night’s Easter Vigil! Best night of my life!!! So excited for this journey. Praise be to God ✝️
“Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed”
I was born Catholic and studied in Catholic schools from high school through college. Personally, I believe that Jesus Christ existed, and I do believe in God. However, I don’t always practice my faith the way we’re traditionally taught like praying the rosary every day or going to Mass every Sunday
Just a small celebration, I haven’t gone since I was a child. I honestly forgot how it worked and I had someone walk in on me because I forgot to turn on the light 😅. The priest was very kind and helped me through it. The penance he gave me did not feel like enough and I began doubting it but befor
- 6 Masses
- 3 Celebrations
- 5 Processions
- Few hours of sleep
In short, this week I lived at the church and only visited my house.🤣
But it was the most intense and well-lived Holy Week I have ever participated in in my entire life.
Praise be to God and long live the Risen Christ!

Scandalous! Schandalig! ;)
Ed: Thank you everyone for your clarifications and opinions. Some of you harbor a bizarre hatred of the Netherlands; even more believe it's a Protestant monolith.
The first proper Catechism was written by a priest who was born in what is now the Netherlands :)
I have been praying and meditating this decision for a while now and I think I'm vocated to be priest, a religious one (preachers order).
I know that you are never sure until you actually become a priest but as much as I can, I'm sure. A lot of people tell me that it's too early to decide (I'm 16)
hi happy easter everyone :D
im in a bit of a situation and I need some advice, motivation or just love in general. Basically I want to be baptized in the catholic church but my living situation is not the greatest.
My parents are completely against me converting to any religion, really, and im s
I've seen a LOT of posts not only here but other social medias a s well of folks converting, either coming back or entering the first time.
First off: Welcome! I've been a full convert for around 13 years. I did all the Sacraments but never actually payed attention to anything and became atheist/ag
Easter Morning Mass Today ✝️
Hello friends.
Today I had my first confession in over a decade (I was away from Catholicism for a long time). It felt good, I felt at peace.
However, I got confused at tha last part of my confession. The priest told me that, apart from the 3 prayers, I have to do some sort of "physical penitence"
I've failed so many times, but this time feels different. I grew up atheist and I've been an addict for my entire adult life. I've been trying to find faith seriously since an incident last year and God has come through for me in so many ways. I've been sober since just after my 21st birthday in Feb
Dear r/Catholicism,
Christ is Risen! He is Truly Risen!
The entire moderation team wishes everyone a blessed and joyous Easter. There is much going on in the world that troubles, frightens, confuses, and angers us, but today is a sobering reminder that the Prince of Peace and King of Kings has con
I know typically this is only allowed on Fridays, but I wanted to share this. While I have been at home in a plethora of churches, this is a new family and new start.
Ignore my face I was crying SO hard. I got baptized on saturday evening and I'm SO grateful
Today for Easter I decided to return home. This is my Church where I received my first Holy Communion when I was in second grade. This is where I had my Confirmation in 2010. I stopped attending shortly after when I graduated Catholic middle school and went on to attend public high school and never
I am currently a Muslim (Follow the Quran alone) of 9 years. I posted here a couple days about dreams I had in the past. Thank you all who were very helpful.
I feel very close to accepting Jesus as the Son of God. Logically, from my beliefs, It makes sense. It's starting to feel as clear as day. Th
How would you handle your kids school teaching about zodiac signs? I’ve never told my daughter about horoscopes and zodiac signs , and I really don’t want her to know about them until she is old enough to understand what it really is. What would you do?
Politics Monday post just to be sure, I think the current war is dredging up much of the anyone Catholicism baked into American Christianity. Places like babylon bee and the dilywire have been have been posting articles mocking the Holy Father and calling young Catholic converts anti Semitic. I fe
Hello everyone I offically became catholic! I was so excited to celebrate my first Easter in the church and had texted my friends about my joy of offically having my first communion and confirmation on Saturday. Just to wake up to a text outside discord from one of the people in my friend group that
Initial thoughts:
I feel so unworthy to be in communion with the Lord
I feel unworthy to be Catholic
I’m ecstatic
Yesterday was the happiest day of my life
I hope that I continue to grow in my faith and serve the Lord and the church the best I can on this side of life
I look
Hello! Like the title says, I just officially entered the Catholic Church on Easter and I am so happy about it!
However, I still have to tell my parents/family about it. I am an adult in college, but my parents still control paying my tuition and things like that, so I don't want to do anything th
My wife and I (both 34) were born and raised in HEAVY southern Baptist country. We moved away almost ten years ago. For years I’ve struggled with my own doubts and what seems to be a lack of Holiness within the modern progressive Baptist churches. (Although our current FreeWill Baptist Church is gre
Similar to how all of Christianity crumbles to the ground if one thing was false (the resurrection), I believe all of Catholicism would crumble to the ground if the apocrypha isn't scripture.
For some quick context, I became a Christian almost a year ago, was attending OCIA but stopped, and am curr
I’m officially catholic! I was baptized and confirmed during the Easter vigil mass ♥️
I'm not sure I've been more disappointed in a bishop. After Pope leo specifically spoke against some of the things the current administration is doing, it seems like Bishop Barron, who I highly respected, is promoting the positions of the current administration

After two years of going to mass every week I finally get to be part of the Catholic Church.
Despite the war and sirens in Bethlehem, which is under Palestinian Authority control, we celebrated Easter as usual with joy, hope, and faith in the risen Lord. On the contrary, in Israel, the Israeli interior home front limited gatherings in churches, including the Holy Sepulchre Church, where Chr
I was confirmed and baptized Catholic yesterday. Today, me and my Muslim GF broke up. It was such a loving and perfect relationship and we loved each other very much and still do. She was with me before I was a Christian. She supported every step of my Catholic journey. However, she kept me a secret
I just wanted to share how ecstatic I am that we baptized and confirmed a total of 39 new Catholics this weekend at my parish! That may be a record--and from the staff (before the final Sunday evening Mass) we're on track to a highest-ever weekend attendance in over 100 years.
Praise God--this
With a rising number of conversions and people flocking to Catholicism and Catholic content presence online, I’ve seen a lot more posts in this sub recently regarding anti Catholic rhetoric from Protestants and atheists alike in the US. It’s imperative for us all to be strong defenders of our faith
I am finally a Catholic! After being raised Seventh Day Adventist, leaving SDA two years ago, and starting off with the question “What is the true church, and let it be anything but the Catholic Church” I am finally home. It was a long two years of navigating through the Bible, early Church Fathers,
I'm already excited to go again next Sunday~
If you are aware of the Liturgy of the Hours (LotH), it is translated into different languages along the world. In the case for English, LotH is translated by the International Commission on English in the Liturgy (ICEL) for use in non-British English-speaking countries, such as the United States an
**LONG POST WARNING**
I was baptized, received my first communion, confirmed, and otherwise raised in a Lutheran family. My parents stepped away from our Lutheran church in the early 20-teens due to some disagreements our church, and the ELCA as a whole, had regarding some social issues, specif
I was baptized in to the faith last night at the Easter Vigil at St. Anthony's Catholic Church in Questa, New Mexico.
I feel like I'm entering a new chapter in life.
I was discussing my Easter weekend with my family yesterday and mentioned how tired I was (still am). I don’t remember much about church from growing up. I am pretty sure we went to the children’s Easter service earlier in the day on Saturday. This year I went Thursday and Friday. Easter Vigil start
I suppose call me old fashioned, but I'd rather see someone in a plain colored t shirt than shorts at mass. Some adults even go as far as wearing flip flops with their shorts. Does your parish accept this type of dress or frown upon it? I even seen a member of KoC wearing shorts the other day in mas
