I am a convert to the Catholic Church. Attending Mass since 2023, confirmed in 2024.
Thank You, Jesus! I love the Catholic Church.
Before that, for as long as I can remember, I was a closet Catholic. I visited Catholic monasteries, convents, every chance I got.
One particular place I love has always been The Cloisters in New York City. Some of these are photographs I took, going back nearly half a century.
Others are from monasteries in the Northeast United States, Maine and Massachusetts.
This is a photo gallery, with photos of me, from before I converted, which shows my love of the Catholic Faith.
It took a long time, but by the grace of God, I finally found my way back home, to the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.
Praise be to God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit!
