If you are thinking about becoming a Catholic, perhaps the best place to start is to go and have a word with the local Catholic Priest in the church down the road from you. Tell him a bit about yourself, and tell him why you would like to become a catholic. There are many reasons why people like to become catholic, telling the priest helps him to advise you accordingly.

The priest will encourage you to attend church regularly on a Sunday. This will help you to familarise yourself with the Mass, and help you to get to know others in the church, which will help you to feel welcome and part of the community as soon as possible.

Remember, the priest is there to help you, and things will seem odd for a while, so please ask questions. The priest, or anyone for that matter, will be glad to help explain certain things going on in church you may find a little odd, or you may not understand why we do certain things. As Catholics, we aim to do everything with understanding. In this way we become more knowledgable about our faith, which ultimately draws us into a closer relationship with the Lord.

The priest will ask you to attend informal meetings with him, to which other members of the community are welcome. During these talks, the priest will help you to understand the Catholic Faith, and encourage you to be open about your faith. There is never an obligation to become catholic, the aim of the course is to simply 'come and see', and if you think its not really for you afterall, then thats no problem.

Some people choose to attend the Catholic Church (some have done so for many years) without becoming Catholic. Everyone is welcome to the church, Catholics, non Catholics, and non Christians alike. If you choose not to become a catholic, but like attending the church, you will be most welcome.

The course lasts a minimum of 20 weeks, but can be longer depending upon the dynamics of the group, the things being discussed, and the ease with which the material is understood. For some, more time may be necessary.
