You think you're cut off with your beliefs, imagine growing up in a fundamentalist protestant church like I did where annulments dont even exist and arent considered legit. Our belief was if you got married it cannot be undone, doesn't matter the circumstances, you could have been threatened into marriage and still not get the approval to get remarried. You could separate only, no remarriage until one of them dies.

Wow, I did not know half of this. Thank you! God Bless you! What I remember from my cathequism is that people once divorced would not be allowed to re-marry and I’ve always thought that to be true. It really is hard to meet anyone out here. Speak the truth, thank you.

dont disparage your efforts here. you are preaching the truth. keep it up

Katherine, you are a great conduit of single, young, cradle or new Catholics. Your information is Blessed and relatable. The bridge when people are uncomfortable or fear hearing from a priest. But hugely important. Satan wants us to do the lazy thing and give in. Follow Jesus and life and Soul will be worth it. God Bless.

Great info! Thanks for sharing. Clarifying the “buy/purchase a Mass” for your sponsor…one can offer a stipend(recommended-usually $10/per Mass offered for the priest who says the Mass) as an offering. I understand what you mean, but some may not. :)

you can't have sex before marriage

Like!

Never married waiting for the ONE. Hopefully I find her soon ✝️♥️

Is 30+ still a “young” adult?

In general, this is good advice. My experience in bringing up the annulment issue with divorced women is that they can become very defensive. I also think that friendship is possible as long as there is not a strong romantic attraction that could be a near occasion of sin. I agree that there is widespread ignorance on the subject, which is probably the result of poor catechesis. It is also not uncommon for priests to be "pastoral" and tell people in this situation that dating is okay as long as there is no sex or passionate activity. But even if there is no sin as such, there is not a guarantee that an annulment would be granted and there is a serious temptation to marry outside the Church if the annulment is declined. It is true that not all petitions for annulment are granted. I believe annulments are granted in about 75 percent of cases, although the percentage may vary from diocese to diocese.

"High Caliber"

Interesting!

CatholicMatch is cooked

Katherine, do you advocate excluding divorced people without an annulment from communion and going to church? Annulment and the process is a daunting task. When I provided the diocese with the large quantity of information they wanted, the Annulment seemed like a formality.

Male with divorced/annulled "marriage" here. If a woman asks me on date #1 all the ins and outs of what happened, we won't be going on a second date. Is it important to ask eventually, maybe even early on? YES, 100%. Do I want to rehash all the pain of my failed "marriage" in the middle of a restaurant? Absolutely not.

Short answer - no

You should joined the Sisters of Life they do a lot good deeds trying to save unborn babies lives

I am a single 28 year old and I was scrolling TH-cam late at night to scape loneliness. 😅 I am going through a hard time right now, I am feeling like my dream of having a husband and kids may never come true. It makes me really sad sometimes, it ruins my whole day, and sometimes weeks. I never dated anyone and I am beggining to think there is something very wrong with me. I hope I learn to deal with this better. Your video helped me a lot, thanks! ❤

Thank you for pointing that out- too many people assume that 'everyone can get an annulment..". A Catholic person who is divorced and has not received an annulment is STILL MARRIED. so its adultery.. They may be divorced but the tribunal may decide that yes the marriage was valid .. That person should not be dating and we ought not be dating them. Too many people are so badly catechized.. And a person who Caused the divorce- up and left to cheated on their spouse .. and has not repented/gone to confession... is not someone who ought to be receiving communion.

I am single, never married, not dating anyone at the current moment. Having said that, I wonder about some who was divorced, and lets hypothetically was refused an annulment by the church. So does mean literally that this person has to remain single for the rest of their life ? So if you are 25 years old, not granted an annulment, this mean you can never get married ?

I’m choosing Saint Rose 🌹 of Lima Peru 🇵🇪I cried the whole time I learned about her and her life I knew right away she was the right one for me.

Hey Katherine, just one note. If a person is divorced, this person is allowed to receive communion after showing that he tried to keep the marriage alive.

I just subscribed to your channel. I am a Catholic, and when i saw you went for come and see,it gave me so much joy because my best friend also joined a convent Medical missionaries of Mary.I am so happy and May our good lord continue to guide you into your vocation life❤

I am from Poland! Why did you choose to go there?

Great video, hope everyone finds their vocation!

Great video, I was actually curious about this. I didnt know I had to be registered.

Why would anyone want to be a nun? The nuns I had in the 60's bullied me and degraded me and were nasty human beings. Have never recovered from my experience with them. The best thing is my kids did not have to go thru this because I kept them away from Catholic school. They all had a great experience, not being bullied by these women who wore veils and thought they were so superior.

You doesnot find a boyfriend because you are a catholic liberal modernist. And you use imodests clothes. Hugs from Brazil. TLM FSSPX.

May God send many more workers to his field because the harvest is plenty but the labourers are less

thank you for making this video! my life changed after I got confirmed in 2022 as an adult

This is such a great video. My family and I would have loved this when we joined the church. It was a lonely time and we learned on our own.

I am teaching CCD and it is amazing how much many of these kids do not know 🤦🏻‍♀️I am teaching 5th graders and spent a few lessons on just the mass. Showed them our mass on TH-cam and literally paused it and explained everything that was happening and why! I plan to take them to the church for one class and explain again why we have what we have in the church. Also we need good volunteers who know their stuff. 🙏🏼

Nice wallpaper. Wallpaper is coming back. Which is better Catholic or Orthodox? What’s the difference?

Oh my gosh! I used to work at a Catholic Museum and the sisters of life came in. It had just snowed and I swear they looked like angels.

Beautiful joyful Sisters. God bless them abundantly !!

Very informative. Thank you and praying all goes well for you and your Vocation whatever it may be.🙏♥️

I’m a secular Franciscan candidate. As a young female i could not see myself in a convent personally. I love visiting monasteries and convents.

I really enjoyed this video. Can you please do another video and go deeper into your discernment process? What was your daily routine like there? What did you feel during prayer in your discernment process. What made you feel you weren’t called to be a sister? Thank you for the video. God bless you 🙏

This is wonderful! God bless you as you discern. I plan to send this to some young women I know. The Sisters of Life are amazing women of God.

Hardest part for many, who dont live near big cities is that accessing meet ups for religious outside immediatecarea is near impossible at times.

I know a priest who was trined and ordained in his 50s

Most communities have exploratory weekends or retreats. Many communities now have an information pages online. For many communities there is an age range that will be accepted. Your parish pastor will be required to make a recommendation normally, you just have to go and ask. Most communities require you to be debt free and bring with you a specific amount of money to pay for insurance and such for the first year or two. Many communities also have oblate programs. Oblates are secular people who are following that community's spirituality prayer life as well as they can in the secular life. When you enter, there are stages of preparation. Benedictine communities have candidates, then novices, then Juniors (have made first vows) and then you make your final vows. If you are considering entering religious life, ask about the stages of formation, what is involved and what the expectations are. Ask about the levels of involvement in the religious community throughout formation that you would have at each stage in the process, what work or "mission" assignments are often available, routine and spiritual life routines are, the process of education that the community utilizes, etc. If your chosen community has an oblate program, I would look into that as well. Research the spirituality "type" of your chosen community. Learn about their founding and what mission they were founded upon. Communities such as Benedictines, community is important. Prayer and work within the community is important. Mother Teresa's sisters, Dominicans, Franciscans, Mercy Sisters, Jesuits, etc. all were founded to service specific functions. Make sure that your inter-workings align. Living as a Religious is counter-cultural. Especially today, it requires a mind-shift. You also have to remember, Religious are not perfect, they are people who are trying to follow the path that they believe God has drawn them to travel. Many people forget this and get "offended" when they experience people who are not perfect but who are trying. You have to remove the "me' from life and focus on a "bigger" objective. I would recommend that you attend different "come and see" weekends at different communities. Even within the same spirituality tradition, there are differences in the "feeling' of the Mother House community, find the community that "fits" you.

I agree with you about the Chosen. A lot of stuff are just so made up. I want truth.

Nails, makeup, and earrings woyld have to go. Worldly.

I'm discerning Consecrated Virginity. Unless you hate it, i really felt like you were called from the moment the video started. I hope and pray that you dont perpetually discern because your openness is inspiring. I did not have a good experience discerning but am genuinely happy that you did.

Awesome video!❤

Good!

No. Admittedly I'm not in favor of consecrated celibacy. I think it's tragic when young women choose to not pursue marriage and family. Just my two cents.

Yes.

Get thee to a nunnery!
