Exploring entry into the Catholic Church
Is God calling you to become Catholic?
It begins with awareness... or stirring in one's heart for something more. It could be curiosity or a sense of longing for fulfillment. Maybe it's God calling you to explore the life of faith, love and justice within the community of the Catholic Church...
