I will become a Catholic at the age of 73 this Saturday! I was baptized at infancy in the Methodist Church and have been Lutheran for the last 40 years. A feel so blessed!
Congrats to you 🙄🙏 I’m just starting my journey and I’d love to hear about your experience sometime (If comfortable)💕 I’m sure you felt God’s presence to do what you’re doing and the same goes for me (Baptized Presbyterian) when I was younger but I feel Peace just by finding a Catholic Church nearby and reaching out to the Director of their program 🥹 It’s time to surround ourselves with a Community that is of service to God, the Church, each other, and the Community around us! There’s so much to learn about but I’m excited 😊 for you and me! Blessings To You 💯 🙄🙏❤️🩹🥰
Marilyn Mcneil not the RCIA. Go to SSPX or FSSP or Traditional Latin priests. RCIA is novus ordo or their service is protestant service. Not the Sacrifice of the Mass anymore.
Please pray for me. I am a Lutheran searching for the truth, and right now, the Roman Catholic Church is very appealing to me. I am wrestling with certain doctrines, and I want to start RCIA to get a better understanding of them.
Do it bro, the way i see it? there are churches and stuff but if the day ever comes, and jesus comes, whether we were right or not, he will understand that we truly believed and continued his church, even if we wrong, as long as we live like a we’re told
@@jerrymosso3380 I have become Catholic now, and I understand that the Catholic Church is the church that Jesus founded upon St. Peter and the Apostles. It alone safeguards doctrine and preserves correct teaching. Without a Church to guide the faithful, there is mass confusion, and because of those who broke away from this Church, there are 40,000+ denominations, all of whom read the same Bible.
I went through RCIA 2016-17 and came into the Church at the Easter Vigil. Amazing experience. I'm now a sponsor for RCIA this year. I wanted to give back because I had such a great experience. Thanks be to God.
@@BreakingInTheHabit hi Hispanic male here of 50 , I’ve been watching a lot of the Catholic teachings for a while , I think it’s a feel or notion of the heart that maybe someday , i Can visit more the mass or even be part of a community .... it’s still a long ways but than you for The RCIA and please keep sponsoring this class for many to come , and to have them in a classroom setting for newbies like me to be a participant , ask many questions , and casually Become more active into the Church or life ..bless you

I'm a church-going on-paper Hindu who's been praying the Rosary for almost 15 years now. I hope to get Baptized some day. It's difficult in India, culturally, to officially leave the religion you've been raised in!
La india tiene los cristianos de Santo Tomás en Kerala. Una de las comunidades cristianas más antigua. Se puede poner en contacto con ellos. No deje pasar el tesoro de ser católico. Puede ser que cuando quiera ya sea demasiado tarde.
Aditya: If God is calling you, the choice is only yours. India is a multi-religious society where Christians have thriving communities and churches. Catholic Church has been present there for centuries and Catholic churches exist in every major city. I have Muslim friends who live in Muslim countries who have converted, even though they face death penalty under their constitution for this action. I encourage you to pray and to find peace with God. Rosary is wonderful and it is great that you are discovering it as a Hindu. I myself am a convert to Catholicism. God bless!
@@louisecooper2580 Not at all! You basically meet with the parish RCIA group every Wed night, where you meet other people interested in Catholic faith, the priest and religious sister in charge and the group of parishioners who help you in the process. It begins in Sept and runs until Easter, at which point if you decide so, you are received into Roman Catholic Church. With this group you attend Mass, meet individually as needed for coffee to discuss your own journey, ask questions, etc. Plus, there is usually goodies in the beginning of the session. One of the greatest experiences for me.
I've watched possibly 100 videos on becoming Catholic and this is by far the most helpful one. Thank you for fully explaining becoming Catholic as a Christian frim another faith tradition
you all are blinded by the transformation that lucifer can and will have: 2 Corinthians 11:14 - And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. you are (all Catholics)blindly worshiping lucifer in his angelic appearance.
Great video. I was raised Protestant , but after reading about the lives of the saints, I am now certain that the Catholic Church is the one true apostolic church. I’m going to start going to RCIA classes at my local parish next month. God bless you.
I became Catholic last year after doing the RCIA program. I grew up in a cult for about 15 years. I was angry at God for over 33 years. I asked a lot of questions and they were alla answered by the religious leaders and the Priest. They were amazing people. At the end, I just embraced it....no questions asked. Now when I get up in the morning I ask God: "How may I be of service"? ....I cannot be happier. 🙏🙏🙏
tony d I can somewhat relate. Past brainwashing makes me very wary to join the church just because I don’t want to find out again that everything I believe in is wrong. So I’m trying to really do my research about Catholicism before making a decision of if I want to join.
As someone who was baptised Anglican but didn’t grow up in very a religious household (but is really feeling the pull), thank you for this information. Anyone in the UK will tell you that Anglicanism is the state church with the Royal Family as figureheads, and that doesn’t sit entirely right with me; the appeal in Catholicism is growing almost on the daily so this is really helpful!
I agree with you about the Church of England! I don't really like it's origin story either, it was just made up by Henry VIII...doesn't seem very God ordained to me but obviously love and let live.
steve365 you are like you father Martin Luther , you like to protest for everything. I guess you have restless faith. Come to the true church that founded by Jesus Christ. Jesus left one apostolic church. Not 55,000 denominations.
I am catholic and I really hope to marry a catholic man who is devoted to talk about God. Despite that I am too busy with physiology learning, I get so caught up in theology stuff. It seems I get people bored but I wish I could find friends who are into the same stuff as me. :3
Caroline I recommend getting involved at your parish and attend catholic conferences and events. You may already be do this, that's my recommendation. When I was single everyone was trying to introduce me to other available Catholics my age.
Cary > I used to say like you, if I can get one devoted Catholic, However, there is nothing impossible for God. You just pray you will find I got one during my vacation and now very happy 😃. I will pray for you 3 Hail Mary
There are two main reasons for people to consider something you tell them to be boring: 1 they already know so there is no novelty in your story for them, 2 they don't know what it's about so they are unable to recognize the novelty in your story.
When I chose to convert I wanted a Catholic woman. For many reasons. But I've settled for "out of practice" Catholic woman. She still holds the core beliefs I will just need to get her into practice. She has already agreed to basic things like weekly mass as a family, weekly rosary as a family, and no birth control. Maybe you have to relax your standards, I'm probably supposed to bring her back to the faith. That may be your role as well. My Parish has a 70 year old man that's been married to a catholic for like 50 years, been coming to mass every week, every holy day for 20+ years. Just hasn't been receiving the Eucharist. Finally he's decided to do it so
Yes I married a Catholic but I was also not baptized as a child. I was baptized, confirmed and took communion all at the same time and it was in a mass. I was 19 at the time
Weak Catholics go to other Christian denominations while strong protestants, anglican, Methodist, evangelicals become Catholics! Power on!! Viva Cristo Rey!! Sensus Fidelium Pax Christi Est
@stve365 Statistically, there's absolutely no truth to that. The Catholic Church is growing fasting than the population. Please do not spread misinformation.
I'm Episcopalian, and there's nothing weak about me. Very dedicated to my denomination and feel its approach to the Way of Jesus and progressive stance is the future of Christianity.
I just started RCIA in Montreal, and honestly it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. The meetings we have weekly are the highlight of my week, and I find myself always looking forward to the next one. One lady described her RCIA experience as "It is like being taught something completely fundamental, like being taught how to walk." I couldn't agree more, and I'm super excited for my baptism!
Ryan Carnes, OFS only Catholicism, while I have respect for the Orthodox, I was even raised as such since my family is Serbian, I realize it’s not biblical, Trinitarian or monotheistic.
@@DylanGames1000 Remain faith full and wait until you are independent. Meanwhile try to get your parents to like or accept catholics more than they do now in some subtle way. ;-) But if there is nothing you can do for them then you should remember what Jesus said about situations like this. Mt 10:34-39 34 'Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth: it is not peace I have come to bring, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set son against father, daughter against mother, daughter-in-law against mother-in-law; 36 a person's enemies will be the members of his own household. 37 'No one who prefers father or mother to me is worthy of me. No one who prefers son or daughter to me is worthy of me. 38 Anyone who does not take his cross and follow in my footsteps is not worthy of me. 39 Anyone who finds his life will lose it; anyone who loses his life for my sake will find it. Anyway i wish you best of luck. God bless you.
Sometimes I wish I could change the past and become a Catholic Christian as an adult, would have been a great conversion! Then again I'm grateful to have been Catholic since a child.
This answered so much for me. I was baptized when I was a baby but my father didn't want me raised catholic my mother was catholic. Now that I'm older I want to become catholic after doing research and great videos like this have helped me in my decision.
I am meeting with the RCIA coordinator at the local RC parish for the first time this afternoon. I currently worship in the Anglican tradition as an American Episcopalian, but have considered seeking entry into the RCC for many years. Please pray for me.
I went through RCIA this past year and was supposed to have been confirmed this past Easter but I’m finally getting Confirmed on June 12th of this year. Unfortunately most diocesese have a uniform RCIA and already Baptized Christians like myself in Atlanta have to go through everything Catechecumens go through except for Baptism of course. Lord willing I’ll finally be Confirmed on June 11th
The RCIA was an amazing process and an experiance that opened a whole new life to me. To be able to go through the process and being confirmed on Easter this year was a deeply moving experiance and just the start to my spiritual journey. It is amazing to know that I am not alone in my journey and that Jesus is walking the path with me each step of the way.
I'm thinking of becoming Catholic. Stared going to my local church this Easter gave me a beautiful warm feeling .Been something I've been wanting to do for some time nw.
Won’t lie I’m really thinking about it. I was raised Protestant but ended up finding love in college. She’s catholic and we talk about faith a lot and there are a lot of things my church did I had some issues with. The entire experience has always felt so... loose? I suppose would be a good way to call it. As if we take a laid back attitude to everything. After hearing more from her experiences especially with marriage being an option I can’t help but think maybe it would be better to convert. Half my family is catholic so it I wouldn’t be the first
Normal to find love in college. Your catholic gf must be very traditional to talk about the faith. There was a dude in the college who talked bad stuff about for being Catholic. I liked him at first but then I got so hurt, I ignored him. 😪
I was baptized catholic as a child but was never church going. My wife came from a different church, never babtized. We enrolled into RCIA and got married through church right after. Then we stopped going to church 🤦🏻♂️. 15 years later, something happened, through pain God has called us back and I feel our lives have changed. Obviously for the better. Praise be to God! 🙏🏼
am a protestant but in my school days at 13 am turned to catholic because I saw a light in my village Catholics church it is Mary mother now am 18 my family not supports me to baptize please tell me how I take it without my parents permission
If they are over the age of seven, they can enter through this process regardless of their parent's faith. At that point (roughly the age of reason) the sacrament depends on their faith and no one else's.
I went through the entire process to become an Eastern Orthodox Christian. It's similar and I heard that for Eastern Orthodox seeking to join the Catholic church it's significantly easier.
Its a lot to take in for me. I fall into the last category as I was baptized a catholic but never truly practicing or receiving first communion. My grandfather just recently caused me to want to seek the faith now. I’m nervous being agnostic all these years but I look forward to being one with god again!
I'm ready to become Catholic. I'm preparing myself to enter a church and ask to make an appointment with a priest. This is as big of a deal for me as it should be, and I'm beyond excited for my new life.
I went through RCIA in 1987, was Confirmed in 1988 with my class, and graduated in 1991 from St. Joseph High School. The best thing I have ever done in my life.
I loved the last category! I was baptized as a Catholic and had my First Holy Communion. But never confirmed as my parents lost interest in guiding me The complication is I later became a Protestant and sadly was baptized. I don’t know how this will be handled.
Haha, what one learns on the internet, I've been reading the bible for a few years now and doing some learning on theology, I was baptized as a Catholic when I was young but never really got confirmed or got a Catholic education and recently felt nervous about showing up in a church and telling them that I wanted to join them but this gave me encouragement thank you
I never went through the R.C.I.A. But I went through a very bare bone and quick version of it 10 years ago. Before being sentenced to a 10 year prison term for something I wasn't guilty of I wanted to become Catholic so the parish priest of the local Catholic Church in my town came and officially had me join the Church which had all the rites and ceremony of the R.C.I.A. Also some Catholic friends of mine would visit me and began to prepare me for the initiation into the Catholic Church. It took several weeks because the priest was constantly busy but I was officially brought into the Catholic Church and my Confirmation papers as far as I know is still on file with the local Church…..that was 10 years ago April 13 2012 (a Friday the 13th!!). However since that time I left the faith because of the conflict with the Church and my Baptist upbringing gave me doubts as to what the Church taught as I was never really instructed on the Church’s beliefs and doctrines. Now I have a fiancée who is Catholic and I want to become Catholic again so that our different faiths won’t cause problems (and we have had our fair share of “disagreements” over the last 2 years). My question is this because I was officially accepted into the Catholic Church and my paperwork is still on file with the local Church do I have to go through the R.C.I.A. Program?
Depends on the priest. If you attend very regularly and know him well, and you also watch/ read apologetic videos or the "catholic catechism in a year" youtube series, you might be confirmed more quickly than someone starting totally fresh without any christian background. Depends on the church. Check out traditional Latin services:)
If you were already confirmed (yes that church will still have the records) you only need to call and schedule a good confession with the priest - just tell him all the details and you will be welcomed back with open arms!
Watson Piriya , you’re very right, if you’re like me. I am always thankful for my ancestors They were blessed to find the church founded by Jesus himself.
steve365 > Well come back Mr.Protestant. Are you back in this forum to protest. Now here’s the question for you again don’t disappear as usual not to answer the question. 1. Show us. Where is in bible says Faith Alone 2. Sola Scripture and Once save always save. Please please we need you to solve this puzzle question .Good luck
steve365 Mr. what we do with Mary what is your problem . At least we are not whooshing Martin Luther. Mr. Sola Fide, Sola Scriptural well come back again to protest? Come to the true faith, you will have enteral peace.
The only real reason to become a Catholic: Because you believe it is the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church founded by Jesus Christ for the Salvation of their soul.
Not true lol. Read John 1, Hebrews 1. God gave man the Bible, Catholic faith directly opposes what God said in the Bible, so no.. it's not even a true faith. Read Acts 2, that's the church Jesus founded. Not the Catholic church established 100s of years after Jesus died. Use your brain. Read the Bible and you know Catholicism isnt true, read the early church writers, they even prove Catholics to be frauds. Especially the hierarchy of leadership within the catholic church, you can read the New Testament and see God never instituted any of what the catholic faith practices or spews. So... do some more digging because this is an obvious fraudulent church, just read about Jesus condemnation of the religious leaders of his day and you'll see it's all a legitimate condemnation of the catholic religion, from its inception to today.
I plan on signing up for RCIA soon. I have done SO much research and I am so at peace with it. I know it's the right thing for me and it's been a long time coming. Since I was ten really. Been very mystified by it my whole life. I'm ranting, but that just means I am so excited!!!
Thanks for making a video about this! I'd love to eventually see someone make videos with candidates/catechumens as they go through the process from week to week. As a candidate, I have a weird background. I wasn't raised with any religious education for the first 7 years of my life. Then, I started attending methodist and non-denominational churches and was baptized using the adult form at age 11 in a methodist church. I attending various churches until age 19 when I got involved in a weird religious group. Brother Casey, have you ever heard of the Hebrew Roots Movement or Messianic Judaism? It's a syncretist movement that combines Judaism and evangelical Christianity. They keep many old testament laws and some congregations assert almost too much control over their members. Some congregational leaders (they call themselves "Rabbis") are pretty anti-catholic. It took a lot of courage for me to finally see that it was a very unhealthy environment, and even more courage for me to step into the office and start talking to the RCIA coordinator face-to-face. Brother Casey, have you ever run into anyone that used to be a part of this particular movement? IF you do, it might be helpful to point out the parts of the mass that are similar to the Passover meal. That was something that really filled me with awe when I figured it out. It's been difficult to transition between two vastly different religious groups. Sometimes I miss my old life. It was particularly hard when everyone started posting fb pictures of all of these Hanukkah celebrations that I was no longer invited to.
Thanks for your comment and thanks for sharing. I have heard of groups like that but never come across them. Interesting for sure. Best of luck to you during your candidacy!
Interesting is it for sure. Well, now you can say that you've met a former member of the movement, at least online that is. I'm strongly regretting my involvement because it wasn't the healthiest of organizations and they had a lot of misinformation. I recommend that you check out a video by Godly Dragon Reviews and Apologetics. It talks about some of the problems faced by members of the movement and the reason why this person decided to leave was pretty similar to mine. After I started RCIA, I made a joke to some of my fellow candidates and said that I was almost tempted to host a huge halloween party where I served ham because I now had the freedom to do so :) Anyways, pray for me and pray that other people being deceived will find a way out of the more abusive congregations associated with this movement. Here's the video I talked about: th-cam.com/video/vSkPWyYodNo/w-d-xo.html
I am 16 years old but I assume I would classify for RCIA. I consider myself Christian but I have never been baptized. My Grandfather was baptized Catholic and was a devout Catholic, and my mother was baptized Catholic as well but never practices anymore, my Uncle almost married a woman who was in the group with nuns, but she didn’t become a full nun. So I got all of that family history but I was never baptized at birth in any religion. I go to school full time, and have a part time job at McDonald’s for whenever I am not at school so I am pretty busy most of the time with school and work, I make enough time for Church on Sunday, but I don’t know if I have enough time to do the full RCIA, but I do want to become a full Christian and Catholic, how would I go about doing that?
I would speak with the pastor of the Church (or the person in charge of RCIA). The process of becoming a Christian is more than just intellectual knowledge but a journey that can take time. I would see what they can do for you.
Coming to the foundation of Christianity was the best decision I ever made. The purpose is to satiate Jesus thirst and to be in deep communion with him.
Can I just thank you for making your cover picture (and 3:16) the basilica at the University of Notre Dame???!! Also is the church at 2:11 in New York? The Georgia game video was great as well. #GoIrish
Thank you for the insight. I want to convert to the Catholic Church and have been baptized. My issue is the fact that I'm epileptic and getting to the nearest Catholic monastary or church is rather difficult. Can't drive, lol.
Born and raised Baptist but every church we attended growing up was more concerned with cliques and bragging about what they had and how everyone was dressed. Fast forward im now married and we moved right down yhe road from a catholic church. Id love to attend and find my way back into the church again. Whats the proper way to go about it?
You are always welcome to attend Mass, though not receive the Eucharist until you are fully initiated into the Catholic Church. Fr. Chris Alar has excellent videos that explain the parts of the Mass. Until you join, during communion at Mass you can remain seated or you can go up for a blessing at that time, which you signify by crossing your arms over yourself, with right hand on left shoulder and left hand on right shoulder. The proper way to go about joining is to attend RCIA classes at a parish.
I am considering joining the Catholic church because my belief system seems to be more in accordance with Catholic beliefs as a whole. Ive been a protestant my whole life but i have problems with the way many sects of certain protestant churches operate. My current church I have no problems with but i feel I want just be identified as Catholic
Went through RCIA and became a catholic and I love the catholic Faith. One must go through RCIA to became strong catholic. Born catholic may attend RCIA to strengthen their Faith. It is a wonderful experience. 💝
My grandmother and grandfather who raised me were Catholic, my mother’s family protestant. Before joining the Marine Corps, my grandfather wanted to ensure that I had a relationship with God and asked me to attend mass with him then go to RCIA. I’m so proud of this choice, and how it’s helped guide my life after.
I've been considering becoming Catholic, but I haven't decided yet. As a gay married man, I don't know if I would be fully embraced or if I would be treated equally. Even so, there is something about the RCC that draws me.
i am a teenager who was brought up as an atheist. i feel that i am not kind to others and also want to become catholic to help fix that. if anyone can help me with the steps to help me convert, please reply to this comment.
Started the RCIA inquiry and learning the Catechism classes several decades ago. I figured out that I didn't agree with many of the Roman Catholic rules and beliefs, but did agree with the Liturgical practice, ordained Priesthood, administrative structure, etc. So i did not proceed to the next stage. Hence it helped me figure out what i believed, and I found the Episcopal Church and it fit me like a glove. Still Catholic, just not the Roman-style.
As a believer I want to become a Catholic because I want to know more about Jesus. I feel hope when I watch the videos of the Catholic Church sermons. I want so much of the love that Jesus has . Growing up we were Presbyterian
Interesting, I'm in the Second group mentioned then if I have been baptized and received communion in a non-Catholic denomination. It would still be a question of whether going through the confirmation class but not actively putting myself before the congregation in the church service counts. Of course, I didn't like that the confirmation ceremony was only in the second service, and I was angry that my parents wouldn't sit through another version of the worship service in order to support me. I was in Junior High at the time.
I’m in the last boatish. I was baptized as an infant and even had my first communion but my mom left for a different church and I never had the confirmation. Do they have a version for people like me?
Baptism is generally valid. The next step would be to find a good priest toward RCIA classes. Check out Traditional Latin Masses or Byzantine / Ukrainian Catholic masses. There are also wonderful youtube videos like scott hahn, Brent pitre, quest for faith, Trent horn, etc.
I am an LDS (Mormon) Christian seeking to learn more about the Catholic Church I was wandering since the Catholic Church doesn’t accept my baptism as it is non trinitarian would I be going through the process as a Christian or just from the beginning like the non Christian convert?
If I was raised Christian but never baptized, would I have to go through the entire program as well, or would I be able to go through the modified program?
So odd situation and I want to know if I'm technically a Catholic or have to finish an initiation or not. I was baptized as an infant in a Catholic church due to my father being Catholic and later in did receive communion at the church as a child once, but for the most part my mother only brought me to a Baptist church. I feel out of religion entirely for a long time as a teenager to young adult but am now trying to find my way back to God and wish to become Catholic. Am I technically one already or was there steps that got skipped or missed that I would have to have done? Does one try to call and set up an appointment with a priest or would I just go in on a Sunday to finish anything if things needs to be done?
I will become a Catholic at the age of 73 this Saturday! I was baptized at infancy in the Methodist Church and have been Lutheran for the last 40 years. A feel so blessed!

Aditya: If God is calling you, the choice is only yours. India is a multi-religious society where Christians have thriving communities and churches. Catholic Church has been present there for centuries and Catholic churches exist in every major city. I have Muslim friends who live in Muslim countries who have converted, even though they face death penalty under their constitution for this action. I encourage you to pray and to find peace with God. Rosary is wonderful and it is great that you are discovering it as a Hindu. I myself am a convert to Catholicism. God bless!
Our country is a secular nation , we will pray for you so that you get strength and wisdom to choose what's good, may Holy Spirit guide you.
It's seems you are a maharastrain, there are many places in our own state where you can get baptised like Bombay, poona, nashik
Our Mother Mary is taking you in Her arms🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🕊️
Went to RCIA a few years ago and became a Catholic. The best decision of my life!
@steve365 Because I found what I was looking for spiritually, theologically and liturgically. Complete peace and fulfillment.
What is RCIA class like was it scary
@@louisecooper2580 Not at all! You basically meet with the parish RCIA group every Wed night, where you meet other people interested in Catholic faith, the priest and religious sister in charge and the group of parishioners who help you in the process. It begins in Sept and runs until Easter, at which point if you decide so, you are received into Roman Catholic Church. With this group you attend Mass, meet individually as needed for coffee to discuss your own journey, ask questions, etc. Plus, there is usually goodies in the beginning of the session. One of the greatest experiences for me.
@@SaleSarajlijawhat kind of goodies??
@@fubarsnafu8800 just some refreshments or snacks.
I've watched possibly 100 videos on becoming Catholic and this is by far the most helpful one. Thank you for fully explaining becoming Catholic as a Christian frim another faith tradition
you all are blinded by the transformation that lucifer can and will have:
2 Corinthians 11:14 - And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
you are (all Catholics)blindly worshiping lucifer in his angelic appearance.
Great video. I was raised Protestant , but after reading about the lives of the saints, I am now certain that the Catholic Church is the one true apostolic church. I’m going to start going to RCIA classes at my local parish next month. God bless you.
I became Catholic last year after doing the RCIA program. I grew up in a cult for about 15 years. I was angry at God for over 33 years. I asked a lot of questions and they were alla answered by the religious leaders and the Priest. They were amazing people. At the end, I just embraced it....no questions asked. Now when I get up in the morning I ask God: "How may I be of service"? ....I cannot be happier. 🙏🙏🙏
tony d I can somewhat relate. Past brainwashing makes me very wary to join the church just because I don’t want to find out again that everything I believe in is wrong. So I’m trying to really do my research about Catholicism before making a decision of if I want to join.
@@KP-ej7gc Very personal decision and I will be praying for you, brother....hope that you can find peace.
tony d Thank you. I appreciate it.
tony d Do you mind if I asked you what was the defining moment that convinced you to join the catholic faith?
As someone who was baptised Anglican but didn’t grow up in very a religious household (but is really feeling the pull), thank you for this information. Anyone in the UK will tell you that Anglicanism is the state church with the Royal Family as figureheads, and that doesn’t sit entirely right with me; the appeal in Catholicism is growing almost on the daily so this is really helpful!
I agree with you about the Church of England! I don't really like it's origin story either, it was just made up by Henry VIII...doesn't seem very God ordained to me but obviously love and let live.
Are you Catholic now?
I am so proud to be a Catholic
Me too!
steve365 you are like you father Martin Luther , you like to protest for everything. I guess you have restless faith. Come to the true church that founded by Jesus Christ. Jesus left one apostolic church. Not 55,000 denominations.
@@zeezastinos9596 not if that's a pride streaming from the faith in Jesus Christ.
@@zeezastinos9596
It would depend on the kind of pride.
Breaking In The Habit I have two catholic parents but I was never baptized and now I’m 12 and trying to get baptized
I am catholic and I really hope to marry a catholic man who is devoted to talk about God. Despite that I am too busy with physiology learning, I get so caught up in theology stuff. It seems I get people bored but I wish I could find friends who are into the same stuff as me. :3
Caroline I recommend getting involved at your parish and attend catholic conferences and events. You may already be do this, that's my recommendation. When I was single everyone was trying to introduce me to other available Catholics my age.
Cary > I used to say like you, if I can get one devoted Catholic, However, there is nothing impossible for God. You just pray you will find I got one during my vacation and now very happy 😃. I will pray for you 3 Hail Mary
There are two main reasons for people to consider something you tell them to be boring: 1 they already know so there is no novelty in your story for them, 2 they don't know what it's about so they are unable to recognize the novelty in your story.
dude if you still use that face you should stop focusing on that....
When I chose to convert I wanted a Catholic woman. For many reasons. But I've settled for "out of practice" Catholic woman. She still holds the core beliefs I will just need to get her into practice. She has already agreed to basic things like weekly mass as a family, weekly rosary as a family, and no birth control.
Maybe you have to relax your standards, I'm probably supposed to bring her back to the faith. That may be your role as well. My Parish has a 70 year old man that's been married to a catholic for like 50 years, been coming to mass every week, every holy day for 20+ years. Just hasn't been receiving the Eucharist. Finally he's decided to do it so
I was the baptized Catholic but didn't got the confirmation until I was 27. Its one of my happiest moment in my life.
how can they confirm? what's the process
@@marielyeye3797 you have to express your intention to get confirmed to a priest or one of the ministers in the church. They'll tell you the process.
Yes I married a Catholic but I was also not baptized as a child. I was baptized, confirmed and took communion all at the same time and it was in a mass. I was 19 at the time
Johnny Bee I'm a 19 yr Mormon, & now I'm thinking about switching to the Catholic faith

@stve365 Statistically, there's absolutely no truth to that. The Catholic Church is growing fasting than the population. Please do not spread misinformation.

I'm Episcopalian, and there's nothing weak about me. Very dedicated to my denomination and feel its approach to the Way of Jesus and progressive stance is the future of Christianity.
The only Christians I have a problem with are Anglicans. The rest are all okay.
Tonight is my first RCIA meeting. Already know I want to join the church.
Did you end up joining? Tonight is my first RCIA meeting.
Tonight also my first RCIA meeting.
I just started RCIA in Montreal, and honestly it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. The meetings we have weekly are the highlight of my week, and I find myself always looking forward to the next one. One lady described her RCIA experience as "It is like being taught something completely fundamental, like being taught how to walk." I couldn't agree more, and I'm super excited for my baptism!
Amazing! I love that description of learning how to walk. We are all children in Christ.
I joined because it’s the one true faith, Catholic and Orthodoxy are the only two legitimate options.
Remember Ryan, you've made the best decision of your life. Welcome home to the one and only true church of Jesus Christ.
Orthodox already is catholic, it just isn't roman Catholic just like there are Coptic Catholics.
Possibly Coptic Orthodoxy too, but more in the background, so to way.
Ryan Carnes, OFS only Catholicism, while I have respect for the Orthodox, I was even raised as such since my family is Serbian, I realize it’s not biblical, Trinitarian or monotheistic.
@@DylanGames1000 Remain faith full and wait until you are independent. Meanwhile try to get your parents to like or accept catholics more than they do now in some subtle way. ;-)
But if there is nothing you can do for them then you should remember what Jesus said about situations like this.
Mt 10:34-39
34 'Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth: it is not peace I have come to bring, but a sword.
35 For I have come to set son against father, daughter against mother, daughter-in-law against mother-in-law;
36 a person's enemies will be the members of his own household.
37 'No one who prefers father or mother to me is worthy of me. No one who prefers son or daughter to me is worthy of me.
38 Anyone who does not take his cross and follow in my footsteps is not worthy of me.
39 Anyone who finds his life will lose it; anyone who loses his life for my sake will find it.
Anyway i wish you best of luck. God bless you.
I’m a cradle catholic and the sacrament of confirmation is beautiful. My favorite one. :3 ❤️❤️💛
I love you for your explanation. 🤓🌻💫🤗
Baptised on the 29th August 2020. Now still attending RCIA with my son, the next generation.
Am catholic am going to rcia in October pray for me
Lots of prayers! Sharing your joy!
Sometimes I wish I could change the past and become a Catholic Christian as an adult, would have been a great conversion! Then again I'm grateful to have been Catholic since a child.
This answered so much for me. I was baptized when I was a baby but my father didn't want me raised catholic my mother was catholic.
Now that I'm older I want to become catholic after doing research and great videos like this have helped me in my decision.
I am meeting with the RCIA coordinator at the local RC parish for the first time this afternoon. I currently worship in the Anglican tradition as an American Episcopalian, but have considered seeking entry into the RCC for many years. Please pray for me.
I was born catholic raised Catholic staying catholic and dying Catholic love my catholic faith 🙏🙏
I'm in RCIA now and really enjoying it!
I went through RCIA this past year and was supposed to have been confirmed this past Easter but I’m finally getting Confirmed on June 12th of this year. Unfortunately most diocesese have a uniform RCIA and already Baptized Christians like myself in Atlanta have to go through everything Catechecumens go through except for Baptism of course. Lord willing I’ll finally be Confirmed on June 11th
The RCIA was an amazing process and an experiance that opened a whole new life to me. To be able to go through the process and being confirmed on Easter this year was a deeply moving experiance and just the start to my spiritual journey. It is amazing to know that I am not alone in my journey and that Jesus is walking the path with me each step of the way.
So glad to hear it! Peace and good to you!
I'm planning on starting RCIA this year, originally baptized Southern Baptist. Thanks for this video.
I'm thinking of becoming Catholic. Stared going to my local church this Easter gave me a beautiful warm feeling .Been something I've been wanting to do for some time nw.
Won’t lie I’m really thinking about it. I was raised Protestant but ended up finding love in college. She’s catholic and we talk about faith a lot and there are a lot of things my church did I had some issues with. The entire experience has always felt so... loose? I suppose would be a good way to call it. As if we take a laid back attitude to everything. After hearing more from her experiences especially with marriage being an option I can’t help but think maybe it would be better to convert. Half my family is catholic so it I wouldn’t be the first
Normal to find love in college. Your catholic gf must be very traditional to talk about the faith. There was a dude in the college who talked bad stuff about for being Catholic. I liked him at first but then I got so hurt, I ignored him. 😪
RCIA was the best thing ever gifted to me. It was amazing to say the least and I thank my RCIA teacher, his wife, and my sponsor.
I was baptized catholic as a child but was never church going. My wife came from a different church, never babtized. We enrolled into RCIA and got married through church right after. Then we stopped going to church 🤦🏻♂️. 15 years later, something happened, through pain God has called us back and I feel our lives have changed. Obviously for the better. Praise be to God! 🙏🏼
This is the only video I wont troll. Thank you father for helping me find you in a catholic church.
am a protestant but in my school days at 13 am turned to catholic because I saw a light in my village Catholics church it is Mary mother now am 18 my family not supports me to baptize please tell me how I take it without my parents permission
I am currently in RCIA classes. LOVE IT!
Awesome!
cool! Getting baptised/initiated this year or next year? I joined last year and I'm about to get baptised in two weeks time :D
I went through the RCIA in the Diocese of Scranton a few years ago. It was a beautiful time in my life.
What about youth with no catholic parents or family members?
If they are over the age of seven, they can enter through this process regardless of their parent's faith. At that point (roughly the age of reason) the sacrament depends on their faith and no one else's.
Asatru is also an option friend. Hail the Aesir and Vanir!!
Just ask to Catholic friend how to
Thank u ,I just started RCIA, please pray for me ❤
I went through the entire process to become an Eastern Orthodox Christian. It's similar and I heard that for Eastern Orthodox seeking to join the Catholic church it's significantly easier.
Best decision I ever made. I loved the whole process! 💗
So did I!
Its a lot to take in for me. I fall into the last category as I was baptized a catholic but never truly practicing or receiving first communion. My grandfather just recently caused me to want to seek the faith now. I’m nervous being agnostic all these years but I look forward to being one with god again!
I am so proud to be an Orthodox Christian! Thank you for this video!
I'm ready to become Catholic. I'm preparing myself to enter a church and ask to make an appointment with a priest. This is as big of a deal for me as it should be, and I'm beyond excited for my new life.
I went through RCIA in 1987, was Confirmed in 1988 with my class, and graduated in 1991 from St. Joseph High School. The best thing I have ever done in my life.
I loved the last category! I was baptized as a Catholic and had my First Holy Communion. But never confirmed as my parents lost interest in guiding me
The complication is I later became a Protestant and sadly was baptized. I don’t know how this will be handled.
Thank you so much. This was so informative.
The Catholic Church makes me feel at peace
Haha, what one learns on the internet, I've been reading the bible for a few years now and doing some learning on theology, I was baptized as a Catholic when I was young but never really got confirmed or got a Catholic education and recently felt nervous about showing up in a church and telling them that I wanted to join them but this gave me encouragement thank you
I never went through the R.C.I.A.
But I went through a very bare bone and quick version of it 10 years ago.
Before being sentenced to a 10 year prison term for something I wasn't guilty of I wanted to become Catholic so the parish priest of the local Catholic Church in my town came and officially had me join the Church which had all the rites and ceremony of the R.C.I.A.
Also some Catholic friends of mine would visit me and began to prepare me for the initiation into the Catholic Church. It took several weeks because the priest was constantly busy but I was officially brought into the Catholic Church and my Confirmation papers as far as I know is still on file with the local Church…..that was 10 years ago April 13 2012 (a Friday the 13th!!).
However since that time I left the faith because of the conflict with the Church and my Baptist upbringing gave me doubts as to what the Church taught as I was never really instructed on the Church’s beliefs and doctrines.
Now I have a fiancée who is Catholic and I want to become Catholic again so that our different faiths won’t cause problems (and we have had our fair share of “disagreements” over the last 2 years).
My question is this because I was officially accepted into the Catholic Church and my paperwork is still on file with the local Church do I have to go through the R.C.I.A. Program?
Depends on the priest. If you attend very regularly and know him well, and you also watch/ read apologetic videos or the "catholic catechism in a year" youtube series, you might be confirmed more quickly than someone starting totally fresh without any christian background. Depends on the church. Check out traditional Latin services:)
If you were already confirmed (yes that church will still have the records) you only need to call and schedule a good confession with the priest - just tell him all the details and you will be welcomed back with open arms!
I am a baptized Catholic
I am a recent convert, and I wanted to thank you for serving our Lord. I used to be protestant, and now I love the Catholic Church.
God bless you father Casey🙏🏻❤️
I want to marry a catholic and this helped me understand a bit how it’s different from how I was raised
I am proud to be Catholic
steve365 what are doing in forum, just to distract like a devil. I hope God will forgive you and give you peace of mind. God bless
Watson Piriya , you’re very right, if you’re like me. I am always thankful for my ancestors
They were blessed to find the church founded by Jesus himself.
steve365 > Well come back Mr.Protestant. Are you back in this forum to protest. Now here’s the question for you again don’t disappear as usual not to answer the question. 1. Show us. Where is in bible says Faith Alone 2. Sola Scripture and Once save always save. Please please we need you to solve this puzzle question .Good luck
@steve365 we dont worship mary. Your the one who's spreading lies!
steve365 Mr. what we do with Mary what is your problem . At least we are not whooshing Martin Luther. Mr. Sola Fide, Sola Scriptural well come back again to protest? Come to the true faith, you will have enteral peace.
The only real reason to become a Catholic: Because you believe it is the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church founded by Jesus Christ for the Salvation of their soul.
PerennialThoughts This is true it is the ONLY true church.
(For thos who dont know why he said the only "catholic", catholic means *universal* So he said the only one, true, universal church)
the other reason is to be born in a catholic family, then you don't have the right to chose
Not true lol. Read John 1, Hebrews 1. God gave man the Bible, Catholic faith directly opposes what God said in the Bible, so no.. it's not even a true faith. Read Acts 2, that's the church Jesus founded. Not the Catholic church established 100s of years after Jesus died. Use your brain. Read the Bible and you know Catholicism isnt true, read the early church writers, they even prove Catholics to be frauds. Especially the hierarchy of leadership within the catholic church, you can read the New Testament and see God never instituted any of what the catholic faith practices or spews. So... do some more digging because this is an obvious fraudulent church, just read about Jesus condemnation of the religious leaders of his day and you'll see it's all a legitimate condemnation of the catholic religion, from its inception to today.
I plan on signing up for RCIA soon. I have done SO much research and I am so at peace with it. I know it's the right thing for me and it's been a long time coming. Since I was ten really. Been very mystified by it my whole life. I'm ranting, but that just means I am so excited!!!
Thanks for making a video about this! I'd love to eventually see someone make videos with candidates/catechumens as they go through the process from week to week. As a candidate, I have a weird background. I wasn't raised with any religious education for the first 7 years of my life. Then, I started attending methodist and non-denominational churches and was baptized using the adult form at age 11 in a methodist church. I attending various churches until age 19 when I got involved in a weird religious group. Brother Casey, have you ever heard of the Hebrew Roots Movement or Messianic Judaism? It's a syncretist movement that combines Judaism and evangelical Christianity. They keep many old testament laws and some congregations assert almost too much control over their members. Some congregational leaders (they call themselves "Rabbis") are pretty anti-catholic. It took a lot of courage for me to finally see that it was a very unhealthy environment, and even more courage for me to step into the office and start talking to the RCIA coordinator face-to-face. Brother Casey, have you ever run into anyone that used to be a part of this particular movement? IF you do, it might be helpful to point out the parts of the mass that are similar to the Passover meal. That was something that really filled me with awe when I figured it out. It's been difficult to transition between two vastly different religious groups. Sometimes I miss my old life. It was particularly hard when everyone started posting fb pictures of all of these Hanukkah celebrations that I was no longer invited to.
Thanks for your comment and thanks for sharing. I have heard of groups like that but never come across them. Interesting for sure. Best of luck to you during your candidacy!
Interesting is it for sure. Well, now you can say that you've met a former member of the movement, at least online that is. I'm strongly regretting my involvement because it wasn't the healthiest of organizations and they had a lot of misinformation. I recommend that you check out a video by Godly Dragon Reviews and Apologetics. It talks about some of the problems faced by members of the movement and the reason why this person decided to leave was pretty similar to mine. After I started RCIA, I made a joke to some of my fellow candidates and said that I was almost tempted to host a huge halloween party where I served ham because I now had the freedom to do so :) Anyways, pray for me and pray that other people being deceived will find a way out of the more abusive congregations associated with this movement. Here's the video I talked about:
th-cam.com/video/vSkPWyYodNo/w-d-xo.html
I am 16 years old but I assume I would classify for RCIA. I consider myself Christian but I have never been baptized. My Grandfather was baptized Catholic and was a devout Catholic, and my mother was baptized Catholic as well but never practices anymore, my Uncle almost married a woman who was in the group with nuns, but she didn’t become a full nun. So I got all of that family history but I was never baptized at birth in any religion. I go to school full time, and have a part time job at McDonald’s for whenever I am not at school so I am pretty busy most of the time with school and work, I make enough time for Church on Sunday, but I don’t know if I have enough time to do the full RCIA, but I do want to become a full Christian and Catholic, how would I go about doing that?
I would speak with the pastor of the Church (or the person in charge of RCIA). The process of becoming a Christian is more than just intellectual knowledge but a journey that can take time. I would see what they can do for you.
Thanks man for the information, I will be sure to remember to ask someone about the process after mass this Sunday, thanks 🙏
You can ask your Catholic friend to help you brother
I'm going to a church tomorrow to see if I can convert!
I'm from NZ and they don't have many RCIA programmes since there's a shortage of priests and it's a very secular country.
Coming to the foundation of Christianity was the best decision I ever made. The purpose is to satiate Jesus thirst and to be in deep communion with him.
Can I just thank you for making your cover picture (and 3:16) the basilica at the University of Notre Dame???!! Also is the church at 2:11 in New York?
The Georgia game video was great as well. #GoIrish
Praise the Lord. Shalom from Indonesia.
I'm Roman Catholic christian convert from Islam
Brother Casey , thank you 🙏🏽 this is a great video for none Catholics
Thank you for the insight. I want to convert to the Catholic Church and have been baptized. My issue is the fact that I'm epileptic and getting to the nearest Catholic monastary or church is rather difficult. Can't drive, lol.
Born and raised Baptist but every church we attended growing up was more concerned with cliques and bragging about what they had and how everyone was dressed. Fast forward im now married and we moved right down yhe road from a catholic church. Id love to attend and find my way back into the church again. Whats the proper way to go about it?
You are always welcome to attend Mass, though not receive the Eucharist until you are fully initiated into the Catholic Church. Fr. Chris Alar has excellent videos that explain the parts of the Mass. Until you join, during communion at Mass you can remain seated or you can go up for a blessing at that time, which you signify by crossing your arms over yourself, with right hand on left shoulder and left hand on right shoulder. The proper way to go about joining is to attend RCIA classes at a parish.
I am considering joining the Catholic church because my belief system seems to be more in accordance with Catholic beliefs as a whole. Ive been a protestant my whole life but i have problems with the way many sects of certain protestant churches operate. My current church I have no problems with but i feel I want just be identified as Catholic
I’m in RCIA now and shall become Roman Catholic in a few months. It’s the one true, holy, apostolic, Catholic Church, founded by Jesus Christ.
Went through RCIA and became a catholic and I love the catholic Faith. One must go through RCIA to became strong catholic. Born catholic may attend RCIA to strengthen their Faith. It is a wonderful experience. 💝
My grandmother and grandfather who raised me were Catholic, my mother’s family protestant. Before joining the Marine Corps, my grandfather wanted to ensure that I had a relationship with God and asked me to attend mass with him then go to RCIA. I’m so proud of this choice, and how it’s helped guide my life after.
Breaking the habit. did you ever come to Denver?. I recognized pictures from Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate conception.
God bless you Father. well said. I will remain to be catholic . No turning back.
I've been considering becoming Catholic, but I haven't decided yet. As a gay married man, I don't know if I would be fully embraced or if I would be treated equally. Even so, there is something about the RCC that draws me.
Derrick Zeller the Catholic Church is a universal church and we accept everyone with a desire to get closer to God🙏🏼💕
Good to know. I am Christian and have already been baptized and took communion in the Christian church and had no idea if i had to do it again or not
What should someone do if, like me, they are in the 3rd category?
On my way back after being evangelical protestant for 26 years. The truth is unavoidable.
God bless your wonderful faith journey!
The church needs good evangelicals - you will be welcomed with open arms.
I finally became a catholic two days ago. Best decision I've ever made ✝️
i am a teenager who was brought up as an atheist. i feel that i am not kind to others and also want to become catholic to help fix that. if anyone can help me with the steps to help me convert, please reply to this comment.
Look for Catholic churches in your area, then ask them about their RCIA program!
As a 17 year old baptized Episcopalian how can I become a catholic without waiting until RCIA starts next September?
Started the RCIA inquiry and learning the Catechism classes several decades ago. I figured out that I didn't agree with many of the Roman Catholic rules and beliefs, but did agree with the Liturgical practice, ordained Priesthood, administrative structure, etc. So i did not proceed to the next stage. Hence it helped me figure out what i believed, and I found the Episcopal Church and it fit me like a glove. Still Catholic, just not the Roman-style.
I was baptized catholic but never practiced the faith. But now I think i definitely want to learn much more and possibly join
As a believer I want to become a Catholic because I want to know more about Jesus. I feel hope when I watch the videos of the Catholic Church sermons. I want so much of the love that Jesus has . Growing up we were Presbyterian
Thanks for this video, this is something I’ve been thinking about. 😊
Interesting, I'm in the Second group mentioned then if I have been baptized and received communion in a non-Catholic denomination. It would still be a question of whether going through the confirmation class but not actively putting myself before the congregation in the church service counts. Of course, I didn't like that the confirmation ceremony was only in the second service, and I was angry that my parents wouldn't sit through another version of the worship service in order to support me. I was in Junior High at the time.
I’m in the last boatish. I was baptized as an infant and even had my first communion but my mom left for a different church and I never had the confirmation. Do they have a version for people like me?
RCIA classes are for anyone who didn't complete all of their sacraments.
That's what happened to me. I want so much to go back to church.
I want to join but it seems so daunting ... however that won't stop me.
I’m southern Baptist but I’m thinking about switching.
What if you grew up Christian and want to become Catholic what do you do. What are the steps because I was baptized at Christian church?
Baptism is generally valid. The next step would be to find a good priest toward RCIA classes. Check out Traditional Latin Masses or Byzantine / Ukrainian Catholic masses. There are also wonderful youtube videos like scott hahn, Brent pitre, quest for faith, Trent horn, etc.
Call or go to your local catholic church - ask them there and you will be welcomed with open arms!
I am an LDS (Mormon) Christian seeking to learn more about the Catholic Church I was wandering since the Catholic Church doesn’t accept my baptism as it is non trinitarian would I be going through the process as a Christian or just from the beginning like the non Christian convert?
How do i become a catholic in ireland being baptised an anglican in the netherlands please,
kirstie martin look up a Catholic Church nearby and go. They have an office where they will give you information 🙏🏼💕
If I was raised Christian but never baptized, would I have to go through the entire program as well, or would I be able to go through the modified program?
So odd situation and I want to know if I'm technically a Catholic or have to finish an initiation or not.
I was baptized as an infant in a Catholic church due to my father being Catholic and later in did receive communion at the church as a child once, but for the most part my mother only brought me to a Baptist church. I feel out of religion entirely for a long time as a teenager to young adult but am now trying to find my way back to God and wish to become Catholic.
Am I technically one already or was there steps that got skipped or missed that I would have to have done? Does one try to call and set up an appointment with a priest or would I just go in on a Sunday to finish anything if things needs to be done?
hello I am 14 and wanna become a catholic and my parents are baptist
