I know. It took 12 years to get him to become Catholic. It might take me a little longer to get him to join FR. I’m not sure if he’s ready. LOL!

At our church we had a neophyte follow-up class that met every other month, but our Adult Ed person let it slip. Keeping something like this up almost requires another staff member or another volunteer in my opinion.

We have a new Catholic who is very enthused about books helping with the reorganization of our library — she is thrilled to be filling this small niche need.

We have a yearly book study — I am hoping for something in this category this year.
Shea does have a funny way of putting the point across sometimes, doesn’t he?
I feel like I’m making some progress with a guy I work with. He’s a Catholic convert who jumped to episcopaganism. He went to a Catholic funeral last weekend and felt pain that he couldn’t take communion — but he respected it. I told him he’s one confession away — heck, I told him I’m not even sure it’s a sin to have been in the Episcopal church. I invited him to my parish, which is Anglican Use. I think he’d love it. Funny thing is, I don’t even really like the guy — I do in some ways but he’s not a good coworker.
