Catholic baptism class

Boyboyb SG

Recently, I joined a catholic baptism class and its my 4th week there and I find that most of the helpers there talk among themselves during tea break and they and new comers like myself (introvert) are often left standing eating our food during the 20mins break which I dreaded each week. The only time they "talk" with us is the 30mins "sharing" time...

Before that, I've also been to other protestant churches even attended their cell group and I generally find that they are more keen to have fellowship with new comers than catholics....

anyone have similar experiences to share ?

YOu have a choice to leave and join other church or religion.

MY experience with Catholic churches and Catholics are generally good and friendly.

hi boyboy,

i'm a catholic. BTw, are you in RCIA? which parish if you do not mind to reveal?? Generally, people at RCIA do talk to each other. If you feel you are "isolated" form the rest.. talk to yr sponsor. or yr facilitator. They may intro you to others. Maybe others are shy too.. so just smile and say hello.. no harm.. after all we are all sisters aand brothers in christ even though you may not be baptised as yet.. '

Cheers Godd luck!

God bless

May I know which church did you go to? People in catholic churches are generally warm and friendly and will be more than happy to welcome you to their church. Some of these churches include Imm.Heart of Mary, Church of Risen Christ, Novena. You will find that the above churches mentioned have a good conducive environment for praise and worship.

However, please avoid catholic churches in District 10/ Bukit Timah area as some of the people there are cold and arrogant because they think that they are damn rich ,have status and drive BMW 7 Series, Merc S. Class, Jaguar XL, Ferrari to church. ( U shld noe which church i m referring to...haha.)Politics also happen in these churches.

Being a Catholics is a process......sometime it takes time to self reflect upon. As for social group, sponsors are human too it takes time to get to know the person spiritually.

Its may just takes more times.

Ultimately do you find yourself growing spiritually as a church-goer. If you find the level of fellowship does not suit you or you are not growing spritually, then you might want to consider changing your enviroment.

And by changing your enviroment, I don't mean just changing church, but maybe something change within your current change that you can initiate? Just a thought.
