Where do I begin..

[Eli_Joshys_Mom]

I recently started going back to church. I feel so lost. I havent been to church since my pre teen years, since I made my first communion. My husband and 2 children ages 2, and 8 months attend as well. Here are the facts:
I was baptised Catholic.
I was not married in the Catholic Church.
My children are not baptised.
My husband was raised Budist as a child, then converted to Christianity.
I do not recall any of the prayers or much of anything from my teens.
I know no one at the church I attend
What do I do? Where do I start?

. I feel so guilty just to have to admit some of these things.
I have so many questions, but I’ll stop rambling. Please help point me in the right direction.
Thank you.

Dear Mom,

You have more reason to rejoice than to feel ashamed. God has His hand on you and is drawing you close to Himself. Your desire to return to the Faith is the direct result of the Holy Spirit’s influence on you.

Go to a priest and tell him your story. You need to have your marriage blessed. Go to Confession and then you may receive Holy Communion. You will also need to prepare to receive the sacrament of Confirmation. Here are some basic Catholic prayers:
