[quote=Anonymous]Born and raised Catholic married a Protestant.  Married in Catholic church down south w/o Mass.  In the eyes of the church (priest) I agreed to raise any future children as Catholics so long as it did not bring strife to the marriage.  Several children later, my DH as been willing to sit in Mass every week and has been mostly supportive of children attending CCD.  I will say that it helped greatly that for a number of years we lived up north in a much less conservative area.  Now we are here in northern Virginia, tried Arlington Diocese and now Diocese of DC.   Let's just say my DH has lost patience with everything Catholic church related and has told the kids were are done w/o consulting me first.   In his defense, I have absolutely thought of seeking out a church that does more to foster a personal relationship with God and is more meaningful for all of us.   Now for my question - Our oldest child is on track to be confirmed next year as an eight grader.  Our youngest is set to receive 1st communion in 3 weeks.  I feel strongly that we should let our youngest receive 1st communion before we leave, that way all 3 children have received the same sacraments.  Does this make any sense?  I guess no matter what I will always consider myself Catholic and part of me is sad to leave.  Would appreciate any insight if you were in similar situation.
