Fredericksburg, Va., Apr 3, 2018 / 01:07 pm (CNA).- David Bereit, the founder of 40 Days for Life, entered the Catholic Church on Easter, giving thanks for the inspiration of influential Catholics, including his wife and children.
“After years of prayer, discernment, and a whole lot of wrestling with God, I was received into full communion with the Catholic Church at last night's Easter Vigil,” wrote Bereit in an April 1 Facebook post.
Bereit celebrated Easter with his family at St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception Church in Fredericksburg, Virginia. His wife Margaret was his sponsor, and his son Patrick was an altar server at the Mass. His daughter Claire and mother-in-law Helen were also in attendance.

He’s a great guy-— but what a disorienting time to become a Catholic! OTOH, I could easily think he’s more Catholic than the Pope.
I think the Holy Spirit is calling us home...and it’s close to last call! B16 appealed to the more traditional types to join (myself included), and Bergolio is now here to gather up the real intransigents (like my mom, who was burned back in ‘63 when she was suddenly and awkwardly excommunicated via form letter). It’s the classic good cop/bad cop scenario. Of course, Mr. Bereit is going to follow the call whoever is at the helm at the moment. Yay so happy about this!
Jesus is always at the helm.
Praise God! What wonderful news this is!
Welcome home David!
Welcome home, David Bereit!
** B16 appealed to the more traditional types to join (myself included),**
Congratulations!
