It would be awesome to celebrate Pascha there.

Yes, it would be wonderful to be there for Pascha, as I've heard that the Roman Catholics are not blessed by this miracle of the Holy pascha light on the day they celebrate Easter.

Our Church is the Holy Orthodox Church -- so we should really be using the term "Holy" whenever we speak of the Holy Orthodox Church.

I was a frustrated protestant and began looking for the Truth. I didn't limit myself, I explored other religions and every "version" of Christianity that you could imagine. I didn't think of it in terms of "not becoming Catholic" but becoming Orthodox. Eventhough I struggled with many things during my conversion to Orthodoxy, I still had a greater sense of peace about it than I did when exploring any other religion. I've never attended any Catholic services (besides weddings), but felt I knew enough about it to know it wasn't for me. Conversion to Orthodoxy wasn't easy for me (I wrestled with a lot of stuff), I had to fight my will to accept it, but it was the first Faith that made me feel like it was me that needed to change, not me needing/wanting to change it to suit my needs.
