I spent two or three years doing some searching and prayer before last year, when I decided to join the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) class. RCIA (now called OCIA for Order of Christian Initiation for Adults) is how you join the Catholic Church as an adult.
I've gone through classes since last September every week (also to Mass every week) and I've been loving it, soaking up the knowledge gained therein. To me, the Catholic Church feels like the ultimate fulfillment of the faith that I've always practiced. Even if I wasn't practicing the Catholic faith, this is the same God I've always known and loved and the foundations laid for me in my youth at the baptist church are present here as well.
Last Sunday was the Rite of Election for me where catechumins (non-baptised) and candidates (baptisted but not yet confirmed such as myself) take another step closer to receiving the Sacraments at Easter Vigil in April.
