I get more and more excited each day as I get closer to taking the RCIA classes. I found a great site for anyone who will be in RCIA RCIA Resource Site

I think it would be great for those of us who are just a few months away from the life changing event grouped together to support each other on this journey. It is such an exciting time. I don’t really have anyone in my life who really cares. It makes it very hard when you feel like the excitement and happiness you have has to be kept to yourself. We should chat on the board, private messages and/or email. Just an idea.
 
I thought you joined the Church at Easter. Whew! I need more coffee. lol
 
I had started my RCIA training this past advent season 2012. So I am getting a bit of carry over into my year’s worth of discipleship education. It was good to see the lives of those that were in this last RCIA and to hear of how they have absorbed into their faith path what they had learned. I too am very excited for the transformation that has already begun in my life.

Many people have said that faith really grows a lot during RCIA. When our faith goes through times of growth, it is always amazing.
 
I really grew a lot during my RCIA experience (1985-86). My family was not Catholic and neither was my boyfriend, so it was great to meet people on the journey in the same parish. I hope RCIA is a great experience for you.

I am looking forward to meeting others who are on the journey. This feels very lonely at times.
 
I am also going to start RCIA in the fall. I am very excited too.👍

It is going to be an amazing year of growth. I felt like my faith had been going stagnant for awhile and now I am already seeing how much growth there is because it is already been happening.

Thanks for sharing :). I also came across another website for those waiting to commence RCIA classes. It is thencab.com/rica-program/.

By the way, I am also waiting for Fall 2013 for RCIA classes. I had attended one Adult Catechism class :o and realized it would be best to take RCIA classes due to the tremendous gap in my Catholic education formation. Basically, I was baptized in a Catholic Church as a baby. Then when I was 9 years old, my parents took me church regulary in order to be able to have my first communion. That was the only year that I attended a Catholic Church regularly… so yeah, I have a lot to learn, but I’m eager to learn all that I can :).

Oh and I almost forgot, I stopped by the parish office last week and asked one of the deacons if he could recommend any reading while I wait for Fall 2013 RCIA classes. He thought about it for a minute and came back with a book - “This is Our Faith: A Catholic Catechism for Adults by Michael Pennock”. He said that’s actually the book that they use in the RCIA classes. He said I could read Part 1 of the book and come back and talk to him about it and ask questions. 🙂

Thanks for the link. Will check it out later today. I am very eager too. A whole new world is opening up. That is great that the priest recommended the book and offered his time like that. I will have to look up the book. I do have the Catechism of the Catholic Church. I have read it once and will read it again. Just read two books by Scott Hahn, one on Mary and one about Mass. Both very good.
 
When I went through RCIA in 1985-86, we read Christ Among Us. I don’t know if that is still available or not.
