My RCIA Experience- What to Expect if You're Becoming Catholic in Adulthood | Ep 138

Join me as I recount my personal exploration of Catholicism through the lens of the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA), spilling the details from deciding to jump into the 19-week program to the final initiation. Making the decision to become Catholic in adulthood is a unique experience that raised some eyebrows among my friends and family, and if you're considering the same, you may be able to relate! I'll give you insight into exactly what the RCIA experience was like for me from beginning to end, so that you can go into your decision-making a bit more informed and relaxed. In this episode, you'll hear about my expectations vs. reality when it came to the RCIA experience, an unanticipated perk that made all the difference in my understanding of the Catholic mass, a peek behind the curtain of our weekly RCIA meetings, and so much more!
