I came into the Church during the Easter Vigil of 1995.
hi, catholiclady55, I also came into the Church then! I entered during my first year at university in which I learned to trust God with my difficulties and found great peace and many signs of His love and care. I read Frank Sheed’s Theology and Sanity and St Augustine’s Confessions and was given a thirst for the faith and a desire to give it my all. It has been a struggle and I am still looking for God’s purpose for my life, but in the meantime I am helping out in the parish where I can, mainly in music and intercessory praise and prayer at the moment. I have just finished a five-year part-time degree in Theology.

God Bless you, Nick. College was the time of my trying and finding God as well. I pray Jesus and Mary be with you in all you do.

In Her Love,

Hi everyone, It’s great to read everyone’s testimony’s and see what strong faith each and everyone has. I was raised by a Catholic mum and Protestant dad but Was never brought up in the church. I have always believed in God, ever since i was little. , and always talked about him with my mum.After a bit of a spiritual journey,being confirmed in both the Pentecostal and Uniting church. I finally found my home in the Catholic faith after some past life experiences brought me closer to god. In March2002 i was confirmed at the saturday night easter vigil and have never looked back. I have had the love and support of people with a very strong Catholic faith who increased my faith three fold and taught me what the true meaning of Christianity means. - Regards angelic1
 
Hello Everyone! I am so glad to have found you! My name is Diane and I am 55 years old. I came into the Church during the Easter Vigil of 1995. In October of 1994 I was diagnosed with terminal cancer of the uterus which metastasized to the liver, and was given 6 months to live. I had never been baptized and was in the process of investigating the Catholic faith. After the news, I asked to see the hospital chaplain.We talked for several hours in which I expressed my desire to become Catholic, after which the dear Father left. An hour later, he came back and said he had gotten permission from the Bishop to anoint me, which of course brought me great comfort. Again, he left. Then at 9:30 PM, a nurse came in, installed me in a wheelchair, tubes, IV’s and all. When I asked where they were taking me, I was told that Father needed to see me at the hospital chapel. When I arrived, there was Father in his vestments, and several of the nuns and nurses were in attendance. He then proceeded to baptize me. I was overjoyed! I was facing a hysterectomy the next day and had no idea whether I would even survive the surgery, but yet I had the most peaceful night’s sleep of my life. Well, obviously I survived , and guess what? They found a minute tumor which needed no further treatment and after repeating the CAT scan, no spots on my liver whatsoever! It was not metastasis after all, just protein cysts, which dissolve on their own. Whether I received a healing, or it was merely a misdiagnosis, to me it was a miracle.

Since that time, I have been on the adventure of my life, learning and growing in the Catholic faith. It seems that the more I learn, the more I love the faith, and ironically, the hungrier I am to learn more! I know that this is a place where that hunger can be fed.

Thank you and God bless you all!
…your story brought tears to my eyes …

…and all stories were very moving indeed…
 

Hello everyone,

I am a new member. I am so glad I found this site. I’ve only had my computer a few months and so far I’ve just been sending and receiving emails to my family. My four sisters live in New Brunswick, Canada so I use emails a lot to keep touch with them and friends.

I am an introvort, quiet and shy female. I am married and we have six children and four grands. The children are grown up and live in various States in USA.

We have two little female dogs which give us love and laughter. We live in a rural area so don’t know too many people except our church friends.

Thanks you for providing these threads. I can learn a lot about the Catholic Faith.

My name is Ron Bell and I am a Roman Catholic, converting to the Faith in the early 1990s. I offer below a prayer for our land and ALL life as Gustav makes its way to our shores. I hope you will unite in prayer imploring God to avert harm to all! (-:

Oh, Heavenly Father, you sustain us and, indeed, all life on this Earth. You, oh Lord, are the everlasting breath of life and creation through all space and time, the holy master of all that ever was, is and ever shall be. Your breath, oh Lord, is the wind. Your body, oh God, is the heat of the Sun and stars and the giver of life, wherever it appears for all time. Even as we live, oh God, and you live forever, so do the storms that form and pass across our worldly home, the Earth. Lord, I beseech you in your goodness and mercy to calm the storm called Gustav as it moves toward the mainland of the United States. Calm the winds, dear God, that they may not harm and destroy life, human and otherwise. Bring your protective light and peace to those in the path of this storm. We know, oh God, this storm is not evil, but only an example of the greatness and wonder of Nature. Bring calm to this storm, dear God, and let it gradually ease and do no great harm to this wondrous world you have given us as our temporary home until rejoining you forever in eternal Paradise.
I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. May it be so. AMEN. And Amen.
 
Know, Sweet Soul, that you, like us all, are only human and that God knows your heart and thoughts, as He knows ALL minds and hearts. He knew when He created you that you were, like us all, imperfect. But that does not and never will keep Him from loving you as you are–His very child. Feel no regret, only joy in knowing His love has touched your heart! I’ll keep you in my prayers.
 
…Trying to find my way back to being a good, practicing Catholic. Regrettably, I’ve been away from the Church for almost 40 years where I’ve become quite cynical and intolerant of others. Need an azimuth change. Thanks for hosting a worthwhile website.

Welcome to CAF!👋 …Barb:)
 
After stopping going to mass in the early 90’s, I’ve made my way back to the Church. About 1 year ago I decided it was time to get back to my faith and started looking for the right church. I became dismayed at some of the churches I attended and was about to turn to the Orthodox church. That’s when I found a local Byzantine Catholic church and started attending. I can’t describe the conversion experience I had, but I really feel that the Holy Spirit was guiding me. After many months of understanding the Byzantine liturgy and faith, I’m happy to say that my wife & I are having our marriage validated this week. We are attending the Sacrament of Reconciliation tomorrow after a long long hiatus. I’m a little nervous but look forward to being able to receive Christ in the Eucharist at my validation.
