The Seven Reasons Why I Go To Church
Coming out as Catholic

I wrote a piece called "Have you come out as Catholic?" over at ChicagoNow. I'm not usually that vocal about my faith. I may mention that I attend Mass or sing in the choir, but I've never done what I wrote about in that article before.
Is this a new beginning of evangelization for me? Am I comfortable with that? And being that it was at work could I get in trouble?
The whole incident may end where it did, or it could go further, but I must say it felt great to express my faith in this way! I felt confident that the Lord was guiding me and that I was doing the right thing.
What about you? Have you evangelized in a unique way at your workplace? Have you found yourself expressing your beliefs when in the past you never had before?
Coming out as Catholic surprised me but it gave me a boldness in faith that I never experienced before.
Stay tuned.

My name is Pam Spano and I converted to the Catholic faith as an adult over 30 years ago. My conversion story started when I sarcastically said to my Catholic boyfriend at the time, "I suppose if we were to get married, you would want me to convert." He thought for a moment and said, "Well, I am worried about your soul." I suddenly realized that maybe I should be worried about my soul and so the journey began. That boyfriend and I have been married 33 years.
I started blogging at ChicagoNow nearly four years ago. Being Catholic ... Really grew from the many conversations I've had with family and friends about our faith. It's been quite a ride!
