By | April 13, 2010

I’m waiting anxiously for the pictures that were taken from the time I started my RCIA process up till the day of baptism. The RCIA team has 2 assigned photographers. They are no pros per se but I suppose with their top notch digital cameras with them, I have to consider them pros. The pictures [...]

Baptism, confirmation and 1st Eucharist

By | April 5, 2010

Saturday, April 4 was Easter Vigil, the day the church celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It’s also the church baptises the Elects like me. And I’m so thankful DB came….wasn’t sure he wanted to come since it was a 3-hour long mass plus reception.   He was the one who took the following pictures. Cut [...]

Easter is just around the corner….two more weeks it’s Good Friday. How time flys. I started my RCIA program last year February, attended the Triduum (Holy week).

Too contemporary for me

By | February 26, 2010

See this picture on the left?  This is what the church I go to looks like.  Super boring in my book.  It’s too contemporary for me.  Even the church I go to on and off  in Ipoh looks more like a Catholic church.   I chose this current church is because it’s closer to my home [...]

Luncheon with my sponsor

By | August 13, 2009

It’s been a while since I update on my RCIA process. I have gone through the Rite of Acceptance on July 12, the week I returned from my vacation.  It was an eye opener.  The entire time I wasn’t sure what to do, just followed the flow.  It was also the second time I met [...]

RCIA meetings still on

By | April 16, 2009

Just for my own record: Past Tuesday evening was the 4th meeting I have with Pam, the RCIA inquirer.  We chatted about holy triduum, how beautiful those three days were and how proud she was of me that I came for those three days.  Yes, I’m proud of myself, too.  I was there on Easter [...]

RCIA process

By | April 5, 2009

I had always wanted to learn more about the Catholic faith.  I think it was an influence from going to a Convent school and attending most of all the Masses the school had held. I even went to the Catholic church, Our Mother of Perpetual Help, down the road from my parents home.  I will [...]
