My Religion.

I am Catholic. I was Baptized in a Ukrainian Catholic Church, and was brought up attending a Roman Catholic Church. I went to a Catholic elementary school, and went to church religiously every Sunday and holiday up through my high school years. Though this is the way I was brought up, I don't necessarily agree with all of the ways of the religion. Catholic masses are very ritualistic--not that there is anything wrong with that, its just not completely my thing. I am more about hearing a great, meaningful sermon and singing praise in His name. When I came to college, I started going to a non-denominational Church of Christ. I love the people and I love the message. I feel more comfortable attending these masses--I fit in more. Though I still attend Catholic masses for holidays and when I go home, I have found comfort in my new church as well. Don't get me wrong, I am so grateful for the way I was brought up in a Catholic home. My parents, church family, and school community were so supportive and their morals will stick with me forever. I am so lucky to have such good-hearted people in my life.
