i'm going to return to church while i'm at uni and have more free time
i've been looking around but i'm not sure which catholic church i should go to
should i just go into different ones to look?
see if you have a traditional Latin Mass in your city
it's fine to go into them straight away?
yes
just go to confession before recieving the Eucharist
righto
i have been baptised under the catholic faith, is there anything else i need to do?
@Abel have you had any other sacraments?
i think i have completed confirmation and eucharist
i don't really remember too well sorry. it's been a while
that's not something you normally forget since confirmation is at 14 and first communion at 7
i remember doing communion at that age
if that's the case i have not done confirmation at 14. I've stopped going to church then
how do i go about getting confirmation?
ask for it
that also probably means you haven't made your first confession
righto, so i'll ask for that as well?
you have to do that before you take communion again
hmmm i made confession before confirmation
odd
yeah
that's the normal order
yeah and im still in communion with the church
but he's an adult now
and he apostatised
@Abel you did stop being catholic right?
yeah i did during high school
i wanna return to it
yeah so you have to have your excommunication lifted
that's the first thing
apostasy and abortion carries an automatic excommunication
righto
so i just explain to the priest that i've left and now returning?
yes
they might have to ask the bishop to do that but I'm not sure
then next is first confession
then you can have communion
and then you can be confirmed
awesome
just remember you have to be in a state of grace to receive communion
