Lee, a parishioner in Rugby

Lee kindly completed a short, optional questionnaire designed to find out more about why people have decided to join the Catholic Church. He will be fully welcomed into the Catholic Church this Easter, 2026.

Please tell us a little about what drew you towards wanting to become a Catholic.

A feeling that I'm missing out on the bigger picture, a slow understanding that salvation comes through Jesus and Catholicism made the most sense to me.

Please tell us something you have learned during your period of formation to become a Catholic.

To attempt to live like Jesus did, although we could never hope to achieve this, simply having this in my mind each day improves me.

Please tell us something you are looking forward to, following your reception into the Catholic Church.

Simply being baptised, having that sense of belonging. After that, I need to understand how best I can give back.
