The most powerful feeling at Easter Vigil was right after being baptized. I felt both, extremely excited and very calm at the same time. It felt good having a clean slate and beginning a new part of my journey and relationship with God.

Receiving my 1st Holy Communion was very special, and a feeling that sticks with me before receiving the Eucharist at every Mass since then.

My journey through RCIA this far, and receiving my sacraments, has altered my mindset and actions. Personal relationships have been mended and strengthened since starting classes. I have also began praying a lot throughout the day as an outlet for my stress.

RCIA process is a blessing that has expanded my knowledge and love for Jesus. I enjoy learning every week and attending Mass regularly. I feel like I have grown a lot as a person since starting, but I know that I still have a long way to go. I look forward to continuing this journey even after the classes end.
