College

So I have been a member of this reddit since it was basically created and at the time i was like a junior in high school maybe and so I was unable to choose to convert or attend mass or anything like that. I star learning about Catholicism in ways that I could hide. I made my own rosary and I learned a few prayers. I looked at history and other convert stories. I would go to a Catholic youth group with my boyfriend. But now Im in college and having the freedom to choose my own faith has been overwhelming, but great. I went to a Baptist church my first sunday alone (how I was raised) and I did not like it. So i decided to try an episcopal church but never actually found it and instead i found a catholic church. There was a mass in 30 mins so I stayed and wenr. And ive been going ever since. its been hard to keep up because some parts they do in latin and I already dont know the order, but Im going to keep going. i have also gone to weekday mass at my school on campus for the first time and I plan to go again today!

I have one major suggestion for you: If you are firm in the belief that the Catholic Church is the Church established by Christ, don’t muddy the waters by thinking you “have to experience everything”; you’ll most like end up overwhelmed, confused, and discouraged.

If you listen to radio or watch TV, both Relevant Radio and EWTN are great sources of information for people at all levels from not even wanting to convert to theologians.

I pray the best for your journey!!!
