Well, RJ, God calls people in many ways.

The first thing to do is pray. God wants to be in a close relationship with you.

The second thing to do is to talk to a priest. Not being baptized is not a problem.

"Joining" is a process that happens in a parish community, and it involves study, prayer and support from others.

You might want to buy a Catechism of the Catholic Church and start reading it.

We will pray for you.

Dear Richardo,

Thanks for your interest in the Church. There are several ways we can help.

You can check out my favorites page. It has some great commentaries ... yeah, by me :)

We also have a specific section on our FAQ page, that addresses your question:

How do I become Catholic and related questions.

If you are interested in learning more about what Catholics believe, you may also be interested in our FREE Catechism of the Catholic Church Program for Protestants and non-Catholics.
You can register for a FREE one here:

plus I usually throw in extras!

What you have described in your e-mail is definitely a calling from the Holy Spirit. I'm not saying that because I'm a Catholic, but because we have received similar e-mails from questioners saying similar things.

I will keep your spiritual journey in my prayers.

Hope this helps,

Mike
