The following story comes to us from team leader Caleb with our team in Greenville, SC:

On this glorious Holy Saturday, we recall the stillness between the death and resurrection of Christ, but also the day Christ descended into Hell to set the captives free so they might enter their long awaited rest. Today we were blessed to go to the Barnyard Flea Market in Greer again to share the Good News and invite people to join the Catholic Church. Mason and I were double blessed to have Fr. Tim join us for a couple hours.

We met two middle aged friends, Susie and Melissa. Susie was interested in grabbing some items from our table. She said she was planning on attending Mass tomorrow and goes often to St. Mary Magdalene. Susie related that her friend Melissa isn’t Catholic but they were just talking about it before they met us. We had some friendly conversation and she was interested in coming over to Prince of Peace parish to attend a Mass there. She also told us that what’s spurning her to engage her faith more is her strained relationship with her son and his wife. Her son, whose name is Brennan, and his wife have been struggling with their faith. We prayed briefly for them.

Fr. Davison met with a young man who asked him to give a brief explanation of the difference between Catholicism and Protestantism. The young man said his friends are Catholic and have invited him to Mass. He is a Christian and goes to a non-denominational church. Father gave him a brief explanation that it was the Church that Christ founded and handed down through the Apostles and we gave him the booklet “Pillar of Fire, Pillar of Truth”, a booklet that gives a brief catechesis on the foundational doctrines of the Catholic Faith. Father also gave him some simple instructions on how to find a parish priest to get into a class that would teach about how to become Catholic and practice the faith.

Please take some time to pray for those we met and their loved ones! And pray for us too!

Praised be Jesus Christ!
