xToday was doubly special at St. John the Evangelist.
Naturally, it was important because we kicked off Advent, when we prepare ourselves for the coming of our Savior.
But we also welcomed a new group of candidates into the RCIA program, who joined the existing Catechumens for a blessing before Mass. And this wasn’t just any group of candidates, but apparently our largest on record. The mass of them encircling Father Scott was a true sight to behold.
We often lament the empty pews or the lack of younger folks or those fellow Catholics who drift into CEO status – Christmas and Easter Only.
But days like today remind you that there remain many young men and women who will be called into the Church. And that, much like Advent itself, is a reason for hope and joy.
