Starting OCIA?
So I’ve decided I want to become catholic and start OCIA to get confirmed into the Church at Easter, but as I am under 18 (and would be 17 by the time I could get confirmed) I need permission from parents to start the course, however my whole family is Baptist and I’m not sure if they would let me.
This is really worrying me because I know that OCIA starts in only a month or two so I have little time to try convince them to let me join, I can tell them that I’m doing it just to explore more and learn about that faith (and I wouldn’t be lying because I have yet to learn so so much) But I know I must be honest with them, and with that comes them knowing that I want to leave Protestantism. How do I tell them?
Please excuse my awkwardness - I’m new to Reddit 😭🙏😃
