Nathan, St Michaels, Ashburton, VIC: Nathan felt God’s presence draw him closer
to the Catholic Church.
“I
was drawn to Catholicism like metal is drawn to a magnet. Every time I entered a
Catholic Church I could feel the presence around me of what I now know to be
God. This presence then became prominent in my daily routines. It was not until
my local parish priest celebrated Mass for his 25th year of ordination, at which
I was playing music, (the first time I had been inside the local parish church)
that I decided to become a Catholic. I was so impressed and comforted by the
feeling of love and sense of belonging within the community of St Michael’s in
Ashburton, and the Scriptures and Sacraments of the Catholic Church, that I
decided that I wanted to be part of it. I wanted to belong to this community, to
this faith."
