Hi again everyone. Again, thank you all who encouraged me on the original thread when I was ready to quit RCIA. I did decide to stick with it. Last night was my RCIA class. On the drive there I decided to pray for help in trying to forge a bond with those in class. And for help understanding what it being taught and for me to feel comfortable enough to participate.
Well, last night was the best class yet. 😃 We were taught about the liturgical year. All very interesting. We also talked about what would be happening at the Rite of Welcoming/Acceptance. There is one other lady in the class who was also baptised Catholic as an infant. We found out we don’t really have an active role in the ceremony. We kind of stand off to the side with our sponsors since we are technically already Catholic. We still get to stand up front towards the end of the ceremony to get blessed before dismissal. I am super happy I don’t have to speak in front of everyone 😊
I was active in class. As soon as I walked in, one of the ladies immediately started talking to me. I was quite happy with the others that were at my table last night. I chit chatted and participated. It felt good. Very exciting for me.
So thank you all for the encouragement. I am happy to have found these forums.

Just remember, the Catholic Faith is about saving your soul and that of others and of your relationship with Jesus. It is not a " social club, " you will find parishes that are warm and others where people are more standoffish. Just be a good Catholic. 👍
