Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina
A friend of mine went to a small Catholic college in New England on a baseball scholarship. His coach was the kind of friendly, no-nonsense journeyman they don’t seem to make anymore. At the first practice of the year, he told all the players to take a knee. Then in a thick Massachusetts accent, he said to them, “Now fellas, this is important, so listen up. If you’re gonna be on this team, it doesn’t matter what you believe. But we go to Mass on Sundays.”
Jesus prays at the Last Supper not just for those gathered there, but for us, for His Church, for the community of believers throughout history in every land and nation.
