A little over a week ago, our team had our October outing. The theme of the day was encountering Catholics of all kinds -- practicing, lapsed, and reverting. I'd like to share one story from the last category that was particularly inspiring. I was not involved directly in this encounter, so I'm retelling the story from what one of our evangelists, Dan, told me.

One of our evangelists, Will, was standing by a BlueBikes station. A man rode up on a BlueBike and docked it. I'm not sure how the conversation began between Will and the man, but apparently he was very receptive and excited to have run into a Catholic evangelist. It turned out that the man has been in the process of reverting back to the Catholic faith of his youth. The previous day, he had bought a Bible. This day, he was at home reading it when he felt God asking him to go Harvard Square. So he rented a BlueBike, and the rest is history! He felt God had called him into Harvard Square to facilitate this encounter. At some point, Dan entered the conversation and offered to show him the nearby parish, St. Paul's. The man was excited, as he's ready to take the step of getting involved with a parish. While at the parish, Dan offered him a parish registration card, which the man filled out! What an awesome, providential encounter! Praise God! Please pray for this latest parishioner of St. Paul's!
