Many of you have come to know Randy Hain through his articles here on the Integrated Catholic Life™. Now you can hear his story of conversion to the Catholic Church when he is interviewed by Marcus Grodi [ ... ]
Sister Timothy Marie, O.C.D. Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of Los Angeles The following story is true. It happened to me. I will never, ever forget it. I had been a Carmelite Sister for many years when this story occurred. It changed my life forever, and I came away from the experience with [...]
I was born into a loving, believing community, a Protestant “mother church” (the Reformed Church) which, though it had not for me the fullness of the faith, had strong and genuine piety. I believed, mainly because of the good example of my parents and my church. The faith of my parents, Sunday School teachers, ministers, [...]

“Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip in John 1:46. I’ve often thought of this verse in the context of those investigating the Catholic Church. Like me, you may have had friends (well intentioned to be sure) who made a similar statement as Nathanael about the Catholic Church: “The [...]
One of the truly inspiring and gratifying moments is when a protestant convert to Catholicism discovers the Blessed Virgin Mary. Often, for Catholics, it is a moment of grace when we are able to see Mary anew through those eyes. David, Mills, a convert from the Episcopal church provides us with such an opportunity in [...]
