My basic question: What steps can I take to get plugged into the church again?
Background: I come from a Catholic family (on my father’s side). All of my older siblings and I attended Catholic grade school (no high school in our area). I had my First Communion and regularly attended mass. Early in junior high (before I was confirmed) my parents divorced and I lived with my mother who was not Catholic. I then started attending a public school and have not been back to the church since.
In high school I started attending a Methodist church with some friends and continued attending after high school. Later I met my wife who is a Methodist and we were eventually married in the Methodist church.
In recent years I have lost my faith in the Methodist church and have felt a longing (almost called really) back to my roots. I have a very real desire to become reconnected with the Catholic Church and to begin attending mass again as well as practice the sacraments. I’ve shared this with my wife, who is very supportive, but I don’t know where to begin. It is as simple as meeting with a priest from the local parish?
Can anyone help? Do you know what steps I would need to go through?
Thank you for your help!
