I don’t usually speak for others, but this is one time I believe we new candidates and catechumens would all agree. I wish to thank you older-in-the-faith friends from the bottom of our hearts for this site and all the kind and patient folks who take the time to guide us newbies through, and to answer the millions of questions we ask.

When I post, I’m so sure I’m asking the stupidest questions on earth, but not one time has anyone ever made me feel that it was (even though it probably was…lol). Such support and willingness to answer any questions asked and give guidance in the right direction, has been more appreciated than any words can express.

It’s made this journey so much easier and blessed! Thanks a million dear family of God!!! You’ve made coming home a true privilege. :bowdown2:
 
I second that. My wife and I have only been back in the Church for two years and I don’t know what I would have done without being able to read or post. Thanks!!! A definite resource.

Welcome Home! Keep those questions comming, we like it. 😉
 
Amen to this! God is great at gathering His people and letting them encourage and learn from one another.
 
I second the motion! This site has been the source of so much info, support, solace, and prayer that I have found online yet.
Thanks to all experienced and devout Catholics who take time to answer my sometimes dumb questions!!!
 
You know, I became Catholic on Easter Vigil of 2006. I don’t think I ever thanked the people on CAF for their help so I take this opportunity to thank everyone as well. 🙂
 
Welcome and congratulations. After years of taking the faith for granted and even moving away from the Church,and coming home again- I always get emotional when I watch candidates and catechumens go through the various steps towards initiation. And I absolutely always go to Easter Vigil when they are fully received.

You guys have been and are being ministered to. But through your act of faith it is also important for us. A definite reminder of the gift we have been given and a call to ever renew our own commitment. By your entering as members of the Body of Christ, you add to what and who we are. And so we also owe you a sincere “Thank you” for answering the Lord’s call.
 
I wish to add my thanks to those of the OP. The people on this site have been of tremendous help. May God keep you and bless you all.

What an incredibly inspiring post. I will always remember this when I sit in the presence of future candidates and catechumens.
 
Thank you to everyone who encouraged, answered questions, listened to stories, and offered wise counsel as we prepared (and as some are preparing) for reception into the Church. 🙂
 
I have to add my “ditto” to this thread. This site is not only an awesome resource, but the people on here are sooo helpful. Thank you all! 🙂
