Questions on how to join the church

[Dr-Pepper]

Hey, guys. So I finally came to the conclusion that I want to be Catholic. However my parents are not Catholic. So how do I officially join the church, and do I need parental consent before I join

Find out (if you don’t know already) where your local parish church is. Call them and ask to speak to the pastor’s* secretary. She’ll know what to do.

*The term “pastor” is in Catholic use in North America only. Elsewhere in the English-speaking world, it’s “parish priest.”

It depends on how old you are if you are a minor I think you need permission.But talk to a priest just to be sure congrats I’m a convert myself feel free to contact me if I can be of help to you

To officially join the church and become Catholic you will have to go through a process called RCIA (rite of Christian initiation of adults)It usually last about a year.
