Pre-RCIA Study

[Benedictine Layman]

I took an interest in Catholicism after discovering my Grandma was a treasured member of the congregation in her Catholic church because of her innumerable good deeds and helping the community: I started to learn the prayers and recited them on her rosary.

But I learned from my mum that I had not been baptized into the church which lead me to find out about the RCIA, I have not began yet so I was wondering are there any books or websites that I can read prior to undergoing the process that would help me to complete the program with little difficulty ?

Hello and welcome to OBOB...

For your own sake you might be better off writing this in the main OBOB board as this place isn't used very often and I don't think folk would mind too much.

All the best on your journey home...

Thanks, I'll re-post it on the main board

I think my next step is to study the Vatican councils I and II.

I think it's a good idea to read some scripture, why not try reading one of the Gospels..Mark is the shortest and the earliest, Luke was written for non Jews and Matthew is the Gospel, which most of the sunday Gospel readings from December on will be from the Gospel of Matthew. Going along to mass is a good plan and listening, watching and joining in with the responses and the peace.

Welcome to our Holy Mother Church. If you study the cathecism will be a great idea

I'm a "Newbe" here but fully qualified to meet your needs.

I'm now retired but taught our faith for nearly 20 years including 3 years in RCIA.

I have developed an extensice course called BUILDING BLOCKS OF OUR CATHOLIC FAITH and everything I offer and do is COMPLETELY FREE o f all cost.

It's broader in topics than is RCIA

More Personal

Greater in details

Provides the evidence of what we belief and WHY and HOW we can do so

and Very Traditional catholism and loyal to our Pope and church.

I ALSO answer all faith questions personally.

It's a Suplemental to RCIA and pre-RCIA course.

Let me know if I can be of help?

God Bless you and thanks for asking.

Because I'm new I can't yet post my e-mail address.

So lets start with a question or two
