I found a middle aged Caucasian female her name is Lienne that agreed to be interviewed and share her experience of growing up in the catholic church. Some of the early memories she shared that she remembered was starting catechism in the first grade.

The statues of Mary and the saints of old bring a holy atmosphere to breathe in . A place of peace and reverence and respect. The robes and rituals and nuns and priests giving their lives to serve at the temple and minister God's peace.
