Becoming Catholic

BECOMING CATHOLIC is a podcast for anyone interested in learning what it's like (and what to expect) as a convert to the Catholic faith. My name is Eliza Ceci. In 2019, Jesus Christ saved me from an unbiblical, secular, and new age life. After feeling like there was something missing in my evangelical walk, God gave me yet another grace I didn’t deserve - He opened my eyes and heart to the Catholic faith. Join me as I share my honest journey of what it’s like to BECOME CATHOLIC - from how it all started all the way through to my confirmation in the Church (and beyond). My intention for this project is that it’s a bridge of understanding for those who know and love the Catholic faith and those who are curious, questioning, or somewhere in between. IF YOU LOVE THE LORD, I invite you to join me! Let's learn what its like to become Catholic together.

15. Now's the Time to Start Praying + Sharing the Novena for Hurricanes Welcome to episode 15 of BECOMING CATHOLIC. Pray the Novena for Hurricanes with us: Prayer is a lot more powerful than people would like to believe. You might just be the answer to someone's prayer in their lives - as a child, a friend, a helpful hand when it was really needed. I've seen God bless the people in my life through answered prayers many, many times. Today I want to encourage you to start praying consistently - for you, your family and closest friends, and for your community. We all need prayer SO much right now.

10. what YOU can do in the face of blasphemy Welcome to episode 10 of BECOMING CATHOLIC. If you like this work, please consider donating here: In this episode let's talk about what we can do in the face of blasphemy. As believers - whether Catholic, Christian, or just being human - we know on a heart level what we saw during the opening ceremony of the Olympics was wrong. And, we can't lose heart. Instead, we can go even deeper into our love, reverance, and devotion to the holiest of sacraments, the Eucharist.
