The following report comes to us from team leader Shaun with our team in Lacona, IA:
On Dec. 2, we attended Milo’s Small Town Christmas. We set up a table in the entryway of St. Augustine’s Church, which was hosting a Christmas bazaar and bake sale. We were able to give away a few Rosaries, Miraculous medals and were able to pray with people. I explained how to pray the rosary to a woman who had fallen away from the church. Both that woman and her sister said they didn’t need to go to church but could just pray at home. Pat was able to visit with them about the gift of the Eucharist then one sister requested prayers because she was having surgery on Wednesday to remove a mass. She was afraid it was cancer. We did encounter one woman who said she recalled visiting with us last summer and again brought up the “cannibalism” of Catholics. We tried to talk to her, but she walked away not wanting to listen but only talk. We were able to invite some people to our church and back to our church.
Praised be Jesus Christ!
