You are welcome Pedro/Aegis. What did you convert from? Where do you come from?
Thank you, Nadir and thanks for Emile too.

I started converting from agnosticism to Catholicism in late 2018, going to the Confirmation catechesis and attending a charismatic philo-protestant parish. Neither were good - to tell the truth, terrible - but I think God allowed it for my first steps on Catholic Church.

As I gained more knowledge on doctrine and liturgy, Our Lord opened more and more my eyes - "Et cognoscetis Veritatem, et Veritas liberabit vos" (Jo 8,32) - I realized that my old parish didn't look catholic at all, and even though I haver never attended a protestant sect, it kinda looked like one.

So, on 2020, I was sick of the charismatic churches on my neighborhood (if you are interested why, google "Cerco de Jericó" and you'll know what I'm talking about) and accepted a invite from a trad friend of mine, who provided some rides to a beautiful tridentine mass - that I still attend today - on a old baroque-styled parish on other town.

Since I started to attend that TLM, it was more clear that it was really the Catholic Church and the liturgy that sanctified so many saints, not the the Conciliar Church - or "A Outra" (The Other [Church]) as a great Brazilian catholic traditionalist, Gustavo Corção, told in his texts - and his Novus Ordo masses. Since then, I've been studying and getting close to SSPX, Resistance and the traditionalism movement at all.

Unfortunately, I live too far away from those two. However, I trust that God and the Blessed Virgin Mary may provide someday an authentic traditional mass in full sense for the faithful that live here, and maybe even the current priest that say the mass maybe join the Tradition fully.

Hi all,

My name is Adrien from France, I started to believe in the beginning of this year and now I'm trying to humbly learn and amend myself with the help of our Lord.

I'm looking to donate to some charitable organizations that share (or at least are not in contradiction) with Catholic or pro-life values, if you of know such charitable organizations (Asians or Africans would be great) please let me know, thank you and God bless you and yours.

Dear Adrien, I am happy to hear you have turned to God with such humility.

I can vouch for a very worthwhile cause with folk who speak your own language. They are the the Piccole Sorelle Carmelitane of Maison de la Charite in Madagascar. They care for the poorest of the poor. They themselves are very poor. If you wish to support them I can supply you the details. God bless you. All the sisters are Malagasy, though they train in Italy. All speak French as their second language

Hi Nadir,

Thank you for your welcoming, I'm really far from humility though, but everything is possible with the grace of our Lord!

It does sound like a worthwhile cause, yes please send me their details, God bless
