Hi, guys —
We are non-parish members who currently have our son enrolled in a Catholic school. Before enrolling him, my wife and I had little-to-no-idea of what being Catholic was about or their teachings. We don't go to church regularly but on occasion go to non-denomination churches.
After having him in school, meeting other families, and learning the faith, little by little, we are interested in learning more and becoming members of this Catholic parish.
I am 36-years-old and have been baptized but that was a long time ago, when I was in high school, and I really haven't followed up by being a great Christian as I have not attended church regularly. My wife and I have been married for 8 years but before that she was previously married. She got married when she was 18 and divorced within 3 years. I didn't know if this would be a problem and if we could start the process of becoming Catholic.
- If not, what steps would she have to do to be on the path to becoming a Catholic?
I guess my real questions are:
- What is the process of becoming Catholic since I was baptized but really haven't really lead a Christian life and haven't really been instructed in the Christian Faith?
- Do I just begin process of becoming a Catechumen?
This is a lot to take in and I feel we have so much to learn. Thank you for reading my inquiry.
I look forward to hearing from you.
