Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina
Last year when my son received the sacrament of confession for the first time, my husband and I heard other parents talking about their plans to “make it special” with a dinner out, dessert or a gift.
Fifty-six years ago I got my first job. I was a newspaper boy hurling tomahawk folded editions of The Standard Star on front porches in New Rochelle, N.Y., earning about $9 a week. My final job, as director of communication for the Diocese of Charlotte, includes some supervisory oversight of the Catholic News Herald. It’s odd that after all these years I am still delivering the news. Fortunately, this last job pays better than my first.
