It all started with my brother, Stephen, becoming engaged to his longtime love, Audra. Throughout our childhood, and even as adults, my brother and I have remained actively involved in our faith as Roman Catholics. We actually still attend the same church that our parents were married in and where we were baptized and confirmed as children.
Although Audra (his fiancé) was baptized in the Catholic faith, she had never made her communion or confirmation. She has recently been working towards her Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) so they can get married in our church. Along with our parents, I was also married in our church and I know how much it means to Stephen to be married there as well.
As for Audra, she is such a wonderful person! Since she is my future sister-in-law, it brings me joy to see how much she loves her newly found faith in the Catholic Church. Pretty soon Audra will be done with her classes and able to participate in the initiation process to become an “official” member of the Catholic Church. Therefore, I knew that I had to find her the perfect RCIA gift, but as to what I was going to get her – that another story…until I came across your website.
Upon looking at all of the RCIA gifts, I decided to purchase two products. The first one is the Classic White Photo Album. I absolutely adored the crisp, clean look of this photo album! I also loved the idea of it being a precious keepsake for the numerous photos that were going to be taken on that special day! It is nice to know that Audra could have this photo album as a reminder of her journey back into the Catholic faith.
The second item I bought was the Today Is Mine book by Leroy Brownlow. It is a beautifully written motivational, spiritual and inspirational guide! I know that this particular book will serve as an inspirational daily reminder to Audra of her devotion to our faith and God.
Also, thank you so much! I absolutely loved the products and the detailed descriptions of each. It definitely made my job finding the perfect RCIA gift easy! I am so pleased with how easy it was to use your website that I will definitely be using it again. After all, I do need a gift for Stephen and Audra’s upcoming wedding.

There is no other way.
I completely agree with the above comment, the internet is with a doubt growing into the most important medium of communication across the globe and its due to sites like this that ideas are spreading so quickly.
Just recently I heard someone say “although marriage is not always that grand, divorce is a hundred grand”. I immediately thought how sad for that person to be entertaining such thoughts. He probably is not very happy in his marriage. I was reminded once again how blessed I am. The “covenant” my husband and I are in is so sacred. A “covenant” unlike a “contract”, can never be broken. A marriage “covenant” is a sacrament in my religion therefore that bond between male and female for the purpose of creating life, more souls for Him in heaven………is greatly strengthened.
I really like following your blog as the articles are so simple to read and follow. Excellent. Please keep up the good work. Thanks.
The blog was absolutely fantastic! Lots of great information and inspiration, both of which we all need!
so interesting a topic.
We want update of this blog. Thanks!
