Hello and God Bless everyone. I went through RCIS 6 years ago maybe 7 my memory is not what it used to be. I am so grateful for having joined the Catholic Church. It has become a very important part of my life. I am 60 years old and I also am disabled with multiple chronic conditions. I spend most of my time in a power wheel chair. I also have a ramp on my house and a lift on my vehicle so I can get around some. One of my Brothers from our local Knights of Columbus chapter brings me communion every week and I am very grateful for that.

I learned so much and have very fond memories of 'those days'.
I became a catechist and have been teaching Catholicism for many years to adults and teens (C.C.D. & R.C.I.A.).
Nice to see how far C.A. has grown!
Thanks for all you do!

I am also a rather new widow, trying to figure out what God has planned for me. I feel like a foreigner in a new country that does not speak the language - my feet haven't found a foothold as I walk along this new path.

So, there you have it ~ wishing all a Blessed day.

Dickiessong, welcome to the forums, may God console you in your grief and bring His blessings upon you.

There are many groups on CAF and I am sure more than one dealing with lost loved ones, please check them out from the "GROUPS" tab at the top of the screen.

Hope that you enjoy the site.

My son who is in the 7th grade especially has his ear to the radio and is learning so much. I have been Catholic all my life, however I have only in the last 8 years, since my husband's death, have I fully come to know God and put all of my hope in Him! My thirst for knowledge is also driven by my desire to raise my children right. I have learned that God's plans are so far and beyond my comprehension but every day he leads me to a greater love, inspires me to persevere through difficult times and to rely on him and hope in him!!!

mcgrace, Thank you for taking the time to register here at CAF!

Wow, that is great work with the kids, engaging them in the the faith as you are, keep up the great work!

I believe that God's plan for you is to be a saint with Him in heaven!

We hope that you find CAF a great resource and please enjoy the site!

Hello to all. I've known about Catholic Answers for about 1 year, have been listening to Catholic Answers Live very enthusiastically, and finally registered for the forums.

I was the stereotypic "bad Catholic" for a long, long time. Didn't know much, didn't care about not knowing, and basically was a Catholic-in-name-only. I was consistently bombarded with criticisms from my protestant friends, and had no ability to respond. Four years ago, coinciding with my older kids beginning their studies at a Catholic high school, I began feeling very strongly that I should either get this figured out, and start knowing and living my faith, or get out. I couldn't live the hipocricy any more. Well the short story.....I met and connected with our new parish Priest, who has been very encouraging and helpful, started a dedicated effort to learn what I should have already known, and it has been fantastic. I can't get enough. I just wish I would have done this 25 years ago! I'm excited about getting involved with these forums. Thank you God!

Thank you CAF!

I returned to the Church a year and a half ago after being away for a long time. I try to be a devout Catholic, and suffer from OCD/Scrupulosity. I hope this forum will help me with my many questions and I am looking forward to joining the OCD/Scrupulosity thread.

God Bless you for your work,
