The following report is a continuation of yesterday’s story, which comes to us from team leader Scott with our team in Watertown, NY:

A family with children came by the table during the eclipse but we did not notice them while we were observing. They were interested in many rosaries and pamphlets on the Church, and the angel coins and religious key chains that were provided in a bowl. Me and Dave gave their children water, chips, string cheese, and turkey sandwiches. They were very grateful and considering the faith, especially after witnessing the celestial event. The mother of the children along with her husband there explained to me that these type of things get people thinking spiritually, that there is a deeper purpose and that she is considering giving her family a Church that can hold onto. Me and Dave agreed this was a good idea. Please pray for this family to stick together and be one in Christ Jesus!

Gretchen and her family member approached our table and explained to us how she was received into the Church recently on Easter vigil. Dave and I explained our testimonies to her and our stories of why we came into the faith. Gretchen’s family member mentioned how she was a convert to the Catholic faith many decades ago, and slowly but surely her family members were trickling in as time went by, but there are some who are still holding out. Gretchen also explained to us a story about someone she knew who practiced Wicca who influenced her life, as she too also practiced before converting, and this person converted to the Catholic faith before she died. Dave and I thanked God for this because this soul has a chance after renouncing divination, and we could tell this was a very personal story for Gretchen. Gretchen and her family member agreed to a picture with Dave before they left. Please pray for Gretchen, her family’s conversion, and her friend’s soul who passed away!

Praised be Jesus Christ!
