Have you read the story in the New Testament about the pagan(centurian) who became a believer in Jesus? A great conversion!
 
First of all, welcome to the Church, it is so wonderful you want to become Catholic! I would talk to the priest and see what they can do about alternate RCIA, many parishes would be able to accommodate you, if not look at a different parish. God bless you, you are in my prayers!

I wonder if you could work with someone involved in Catholic prison ministry who already visits the facility where you work? Or are those sort of visits restricted to 1st shift? Of course the pastor of your parish church will have the final say on alterations of the normal program…

So, the short of my dilemma is that I have been a new age/pagan for several years now and I don’t even know where to begin in terms of going to mass, talking to my local priest, or even begining the conversion process.

That being said, with my little bit of investigating I discovered the RCIA program. However, I work a full time, 2nd shift job as a corrections officer which would make the current RCIA schedule at my local church impossible. I am at a loss for what I should do, or where I should begin.

Also, some background info. I have never been baptised nor have i spent any significant time at any church other than a few visits years ago to the same Catholic Church.

Be prepared for the enemy to put doubts in your head.
 
Hi Daniel,
The FSSP provides individual convert instruction and can work with your schedule; I wonder if one of their churches might be reasonably close to where you live?
Here is an interactive map of their locations.


May God bless and keep you and may His holy Word bring you His peace.
Amen.
