Sojourner Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Tonight I volunteered at the state fair at my university's booth, and had a great talk with the father of one of the first-year students at St. John Vianney Seminary. It was really, really cool to hear him talk about his son discerning the priesthood, and you could tell he was really really proud and also slightly in awe at the thought of his son becoming a priest. Then, on the way out, we walked past a yard where the couple who owned the house was letting people park. Everyone who parks there (and passersby as well) gets a free rosary. How cool is that?? There were also mini donuts. Which were not Catholic, per se, but anything that tastes that good must have been blessed by God with some special grace.

The food + the vomitrocious ride action would lead to much puking, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure where we will be when, though ... maybe we could arrange to meet someplace at a certain time, like, the haunted house at noon?
