When babies are baptized and the Candle is handed back to them, the Priest should mention to the parents and Godparents to pray for the child to become a Priest or a Nun!! I think this should also be done when they receive their First Holy Communion and their Confirmation!

Parents today only seem to think about Grandchildren.

So he gave it to a church, they put it in storage for 20 years, and have now installed it in the basement? Perhaps he should have shopped it around to find someone who really wanted it.

I wonder where it came from originally?

If this fisherman reeled in another one of these gizmos, would that be a remonstrance?

That’s beautiful.

However, it would be sitting on my fireplace mantle if I had found it.

You just “lose” such a beautiful RC Church item.
I wonder if it was a “GI bring back” from WWII.
The Bringbacker then got cold feet and dumped it.

**There, he placed the monstrance atop a gleaming altar inside a new adoration chapel that he dedicated to be used to pray for vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life.

“Using a monstrance fished out of a lake, we will ask the Lord to send us new ‘fishers of men,’” Archbishop Lori said in his homily, prior to dedicating the new chapel, “both here in the Archdiocese of Baltimore and in the whole Church.”**

Amen!

Not a believer myself, but that is amazing art work. You have to admire the skill and devotion/ dedication it must taken to build something like that.
