Okay, I’ll join in on the fun.

I was born and raised in Philadelphia.

My father’s family is Scottish Catholic and emigrated through Ireland.

My mother’s family is of Irish origin, but I have no idea when they became American.

I am 34 yo mother of 4, live in NE Ohio.

I am Black, Native American, Hungarian, Polish, French & Irish.

Both my hippie-era parents raised as Methodists & never attended church together or w/me. I attended AME (African Methodist Episcopal) church w/grandmother; besides the excellent gospel singing & lack of Eucharist, surprisingly similar. Around age 11 i began to attend a Baptist church near my home on my own & was baptised there. My parents did not attend 😦 . After marrying a non-practising Cradle Catholic 100% Italian, I began attendind non-denom church. His stubborn refusal to ever step foot in a non-Catholic church made me attempt to show him the faults of Catholicism,but I was myself converted(1999). 😛

From? Born in Newmarket Ontario, Raised in Minden ON, Currently in Oshawa (near Toronto ON).

Ethnicity? I was adopted so i don’t know but I go by my adopted parents…Father - 100% Italian (catholic) from Sicily
Mother - Irish and welsh (protestant)
I was never baptised (due to the crownwardship i had for 8 years), I will be attending RCIA very soon and hope to be completely catholic by next year!!

I live in Manteca, Ca, but I was born in San Bernadino, Ca (but rised in Fontana) for 19 years

Ethnicity: German(Dutch) and Irish Descent 😉
46 years of age 🙂

Baptist(Still) but learning the Catholic Faith:whistle:
 
I’m originally from Virginia and am 56 years old. I am of Swedish descent with a drop of Irish and English blood.

I went to the Episcopal church as a child, but at age 13 I started going to Catholic school and attending the Catholic church. I fell in love with the Mass and the Church and this love has never let me go.

My husband and I were married in the Church. (He was Catholic at the time.) During my twenties I started attending other churches but the Catholic church kept calling me. In my thirties I came back to the Catholic church and converted. Unfortunately I was lukewarm for a number of years and the parish I attended offered a very watered down version of Catholicism. The past seven years I have done a great deal of reading about Catholicism and turned my life over to Christ.

My husband is an atheist and none of my three daughters has remained faithful to the Church. It’s probably my fault because I was lukewarm for so long, but it is a huge disappointment. I keep praying for my whole family.
 
age 38, living in the Chicago area

100% English, not yet an American, but I love this country, married to an American, been blessed with 6 kids (so far…) 🙂

became a RC at 6, and God willing, will die one in good standing!!
 
I’m 41 and live in the San Francisco Bay Area, though I was born in Sacramento, California.

My father was of English and Scotch extraction, and my mother had been adopted, though we deduced after some study that she was part Mexican and part American Indian.

After being raised with practically no religion at all, I converted to the RCC at the ripe old age of thirty-three.
