As I spent some time admiring the stained glass windows in the church, I realized that both of those sacraments were featured in the windows. Many of our Catholic churches tell the story of our faith in the artwork and windows. I invite you to take a good look at the windows, statues, artwork, and other symbols and signs in your local church. Many people have sacrificed through the centuries to provide us with beautiful worship spaces. Take some time to appreciate the beauty of your local church.
At the close of the parish mission in Wheatland a couple of second graders shared their thoughts about receiving the Holy Eucharist for the first time in a couple of weeks. The young people preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation came to the mission as part of their class. It was good to see them with the rest of the parishioners in attendance.
