Welcome home everyone!!! Our family just keeps getting bigger and bigger!
 
What was confirmation like for everyone? How did you feel?

I can’t really describe how I feel now that I’m confirmed. No word does it justice. It’s sort of like when your body is out of whack and someone cracks your back and you feel better because everything is aligned. It’s that feeling except on the inside… I guess? 😃

The journey has just begun!! Anyone else just a little bit frightened?! Not in a bad way of course. I don’t know how to describe it. IT’S ALL SO NEW!! :extrahappy:
I liked what our Bishop said, that the graces of the sacraments we have received will settle into us. I think I am in shock. lol.
 
I am very happy!

I just joined this forum today, although I am surprised that I didn’t find it sooner - I have been looking for a Catholic forum for quite some time.

I was confirmed on Saturday at the Easter Vigil. It has been 14 years in waiting! I missed my confirmation with my class when I moved to BC from Ontario, and never got the chance until this year when I said, “Im doing it”!

I was baptised Catholic as an infant and had my first Holy Communion at the age of 8.

It has been a long road, but I am finally complete!!!

God Bless all of you, and welcome to all of you who are joining us!

🙂 Congratulations!
 
Sorry to be late to the party, but…

Welcome Home to all our new Catholics! We’re glad to have you! As someone who came Home two years ago, it’s such a joy to see the enthusiasim and joy by the new converts.
 
Late entrance for me too 🙂

I’m home 👍

My husband and I received 4 sacraments Saturday evening (Baptism, confirmation, holy communion, and marriage [vow renewal]).

We still have 3 weeks of RCIA due to imclement weather. But it will be tons of fun!!

Was an amazing experience. During baptism, I kind of “blanked out” for a few seconds, where all I could hear was the water and Fr’s words (could have been the water in my ears, though)!

The candles and readings were a beutiful touch.
 
Welcome home everyone!! :extrahappy: :dancing: :extrahappy: :grouphug: :extrahappy: :dancing: :extrahappy:
 
I’m Catholic!! :extrahappy:

I began a real struggle with my faith about five years ago. Then, about two and a half years ago I started investigating the Catholic Church, reading books and going to Mass. I was in RCIA for two years total, only because I changed parishes. I was so disappointed last year because I was not able to enter at Easter Vigil but I continued on! I had to! The Holy Spirit had opened my eyes and my heart to the truth of the Catholic faith.

I just wanted to say that the struggles, disappointments and frustrations along the path to Rome pale when compared to the joy, peace and contentment I have experienced, starting at Easter Vigil and continuing on to this very moment!

I encourage all who are in investigating the Catholic Church to press on through the roadblocks that the enemy most certainly will put in your path! Come home! It is well worth it!

God’s Peace,
FrancisMonica
