James Roberts is originally from Sanford NC and is currently retired. He was born and raised Methodist and became a Baptist later in life. He became interested in discerning the Catholic faith because, in the faith that he was raised in, Mary was not talked about nor discussed. James learned about RCIA when talking with Amanda about St. Thomas More, learning more about what the program was and what its purpose is. James is most attracted to the Catholic Church because of the traditions and practices of the Church. He also loves how much prayer is a part of the everyday Catholic faith.
