Today we joined the Eucharist in a nearby parish, and I was
struck by many aspects of the celebration: the multilingual welcome to
immigrants on the screen near the altar, the strong congregational singing, and
the many families and children preparing for First Holy Communion later this
year.
Leaving the church, I couldn’t but help noticing the joy,
friendliness, and genuine welcome on so many faces. It made Sunday feel
special. Experiences like these happen because people step forward and offer
their time and talents.
A church is not simply a building but a living, worshipping
community called together by Christ.
