How did you become Catholic?


I was born into a Catholic family and was raised Catholic.

My family previously worshipped in another faith tradition but converted.

I chose to become Catholic as an adult through RCIA.

I am not Catholic.

Fr. Michael explains the importance and sacredness of entering the sanctuary
Jim Wozniak, Thursday 14 January 2010 - 21:32:01 // comment: 0

Entrance points, both in terms of time and also in terms of space, carry a unique weight.  We know that culturally we mark the entrance into a new year in a celebratory way full of hope, expectations and promises.

Every January 1 we enter into a new and different space of time.  Also our entrance into a church should move us into a different space; in fact a sacred space.

This is why in Catholic churches entrances into the church proper are often unique architecturally (for example: large weighty doors, the use of stained glass and heavenly images). When we come into church we are not just entering another building, we are entering a sacred space which houses the encounter between God and the community in worship.
