Well, if you want to convert, you need to contact your town or city's RCIA office, Roman Catholic Initiation ? don't know what the A stands for. But be warned, there are many libs who have infiltrated such offices, and it is their interest not to pass on the faith. Therefore, I strongly suggest you invest in two simple books from the Faith and Life Religion Series published by Ignatius Press. Faith and Life series 7 & 8 which are for seventh and eighth graders preparing for confirmation. These two books, in a simple way, explain the foundational principles of our faith: the Fall; Abraham and the Patriarchs; Moses and the Ten Commandments and of course Christ's founding of his Church; the nature of the Church; the Authority of the Church; and the Hierarchical Church. Also, the Sacraments of Membership; Worship , and one of the difficult issues for non-Catholics the Catholic perspective on Mary and her relationship with us as Mother of the Church. Ignatius has an on line store.

I'm sorry I should explain in your town's parish (Catholic Church) there will be an RCIA office, or director. V's wife.

What an excellent reading suggestion. I will remember that when talking to others interested in converting or learning about the Church. Thanks to you, V's wife, for something really practical, Catholic, and useful for the future.

May I jump in here and add some clarification? First, a person wanting to join the Roman Catholic church would have to find a local parish, I don't think the town/city would be much help. Second, RCIA stands for "Right of Christian Initiation for Adults"
