GREENSBORO — Homecoming ended Oct. 30 for North Carolina A&T students, but not for Catholics at Thea House, the campus’ Catholic ministry for students.
One week later, they still had a “homecoming” event to celebrate: the return of Monsignor Mauricio West, vicar general and chancellor of the Diocese of Charlotte, who had visited Thea House in the past, to celebrate Mass Nov. 5 and hang out with the students.
Father Marcel Amadi, Campus Ministry chaplain for the Greensboro and Winston-Salem areas, and Father Innocent Amasiorah, campus minister for UNC-Charlotte, concelebrated the Mass, with Deacon Emmanuel Ukattah of St. Mary Church in Greensboro assisting.
The students were excited to see alumni, parents, faculty and a host of friends from neighboring parishes join them for the celebration. In his homily, Monsignor West entreated the congregation to stay united in the faith. He encouraged them to let the word of God, made flesh in the Eucharist, take root and bear fruit in their lives.
After Mass, the students and guests enjoyed fellowship and a meal together.
