October 12, 2014 Twenty - Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time 2 Did You Know? Views From The Pews Our parish mission was a big success. We have many compliments. Here are two of them. Belgium has identified the Amish, Hasidic Jews and Quakers as “dangerous cults.” Fr. Mike Anonymous writes, “This was one of the best missions that Visitation ever had. Ms. Jansen’s speaking was riveting, her vocals amazing, and her storytelling brought the Scriptures to life. It was uplifting. I felt closer to God than I have in a long time. I could have listened to her for 3 more days.” Tom says, “She is like a very spiritual one-woman Broadway show.” “Everyone agrees. ValLimar Jansen was terrific. She lifted our hearts to God.” Anonymous writes. “Why don’t we have a group confession? I’m scared to go alone, but I would go if I was part of a large group. I am told parishes do that from time to time.” “Group confessions are allowed only in extraordinary circumstances, such as a group of soldiers going to war. Otherwise, the Church requires us to confess individually. Don’t be afraid. It is highly unlikely you have anything confess that I have not heard before, and I always try to show penitents God’s love. So, I do my best to be gentle. If you have the courage to confess, I do my best to channel God’s love and forgiveness.” Fr. Mike Why Join the Knights of Columbus?
