LEARN MORE

OCIA has given me what I’ve always longed for: Truth. Any and all misconceptions I had regarding Catholicism were finally cleared up through RCIA. The beauty of Catholicism shows not only in the Cathedral’s architecture, but also in her teachings. Every class presented me with a deeper and fuller understanding of Christ and His Church, even when I had thought I had known it all. I’ve now realized and accepted that I will never know it all on this side of heaven, making this journey all the more wonderful and vibrant. I loved being intellectually fed through OCIA; and now to be able to be fed by the Eucharist, is a love I cannot fathom. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I would become a Catholic, but now I couldn’t dream of being anything else; and I have OCIA to thank for that.

When I started going to RCIA I was just looking to reconnect with God. I was at a low spot in my life and needed to find something. I have come to find a family that I will always cherish. And friend in Christ who I can share my struggles with. I believe God helped me to find this RCIA class and I thank them for all their help along the way.

– Stephen

I have always felt close to God. Knowing he was there for me, even if I was not listening spiritually. He really is the boss of you. Sometimes he had to be firm with me, and it would be hard coming back from what I thought was the right decision. I am so thankful that I was able to learn more about Jesus, Church and the Catholic life in RCIA. The support given by the church to help me upon my path to being confirmed has been beyond anything I could have expected!

I was raised in a more Lutheran setting as a child and then went away from the church in my early teens. I was off- and on-again from there. I returned to interdenominational church in my mid-thirties as a musician on the worship team and enjoyed that, but still did not feel in my place. When I met my now-wife I began attending Catholic Mass at St. Cecilia, and once I got used to the grand building itself, I realized that this service, this way of worship, really spoke to me in a way that no other had. RCIA has opened a great world for me and helped me to understand the Mass and the Catholic religion in a way that strengthens what was already speaking to me. Where I was unsure before in my faith, I now have a clearer sense of what I believe. I always felt a little silly praying. No more. I have new found relationships in the parish and with my fellow RCIA teammates that I really treasure.
