I am very interested in converting to Catholicism, but where do I even start? There is so much information and so much to learn. Prayers please.
THISWelcome to the forum.
Why not talk with your parish priest?
Don’t pressure yourself with much information. Becoming Catholic is not a quiz where you need to learn a lot of stuff before you do it. Just relax and talk to a priest.There is so much information and so much to learn.
WelcomeSort of saying hello everyone! I’m so ready to join you!
You could read a summary such as The Faith Explained - Third Edition by Leo J. Trese, Scepter Pubs. The Third Edition incorporates some changes since Vatican II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church.I am very interested in converting to Catholicism, but where do I even start?

For those of us who converted as adults this is a very intimidating step. We didn’t grow up knowing priests, with the idea of who a priest is. For many of us, our knowledge of priests most likely came from TV.Why not talk with your parish priest?
Remember, that ultimately, Christianity is a relationship with God-- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Don’t get overwhelmed, especially on threads here at CAF. Frankly this is the last place I’d recommend to someone wanting to learn about the faith. It’s not arranged coheretly, people argue about little nits, some people post stuff that isn’t even right… so, remember, this forum is not a place for organized learning about the faith.I am very interested in converting to Catholicism, but where do I even start?

Welcome. I am a convert from a Protestant tradition. There is so much information it can be overwhelming. Contact a Catholic Church near you about RCIA. Generally RCIA starts in September but during COVID who knows what will happen in your area of the country. The secretary at the church (parish) office should be able to give you some basic information or the phone number of the RCIA director.I am very interested in converting to Catholicism, but where do I even start?
