Look into the RCIA program, if they offer it at your new church. It was the best orientation and explanation of the Catholic faith I've seen. My wife went through the program with me and she is a “cradle Catholic” - she learned a lot and she went to Catholic schools! It walks you through the faith and leads to full confirmation in the Easter Season. It was truly a life-changing experience with a great group of people and a very competent and caring priest. All the best to you!

I wouldn't be too hasty about this. Some (too few) parish programs are good and nourishing. Others will destroy your faith if you let them. There's lots of good advice on this thread. My own counsel is to read the early fathers of the Church. And while EWTN is frequently corny or quirky, when it's at its best it's unsurpassed as a source of Catholic doctrine and culture.

God bless you for your honesty and courage.
