I converted in 2010 after a 42 year stint as a Protestant. Came into the Church full throttle but was surprised not to see the Liturgy performed like I had seen in the pictures of Holy Mass as a boy. The beautiful altars, statues and reverence I was mesmerized by, I concluded, were not in practice today only present in remote areas and in distant regions. 

Then I found a local diocesan parish that had a Tridentine Mass twice a month. I attended those Masses and was immediately drawn to it. However, the lockdowns cancelled those Masses, so I looked for other options. I then found a local SSPX chapel, started attending, and realized what I had been looking for all my life. 

I’m still on a journey, but I realize how much Our Lord and Our Lady have been leading me to where they want me to be.

Hello everyone,

Matthew - thank you for letting me join this forum.

Was aware of cathinfo by name only for years, but only started exploring discussions in forums a few days ago...excellent commentary, engaging. Also - ham radio discussions interesting, as I am one myself. Licensed in 2017. Been a radio nut since I was a kid, shortwave, scanners, CB. 

Catholic Canadian here, just moved to the middle of nowhere on fairly big property, making an attempt to homestead to whatever degree I can, off grid, etc. Still construction work to do, build garage, sheds, and so on. Access to Latin Mass, but about 1+ hours to get there.

Rosary intentions for all here.
