A Blog Reader's Reaction to OLV Mission

A lady who attended the Parish Mission presented by Kathleen and John Colligan saw the advertisement about their coming to Our Lady of Victory. Let me share with you her recollection of the mission several years ago.

- I just read your blog post on your parish mission coming up. I remember when that couple came to JDW - it must have been in the winter of 2005 - 3 years ago. They were excellent. I have seen very few speakers move a room the way they did. I remember when they were telling the story of their lives, and they got to the part where .........(not going to give away the rest of the story). I was sitting in the back of the room. The way they told the story, no one was expecting that ......, and the entire room literally jumped forward in their seats. It shook me up for quite a while - I was hooked.

I wish you good luck for this event, and I hope your parishioners take advantage of this opportunity. As I recall, he is a Domer [Notre Dame grad]- so at least they are real Catholics!!!!! Are the topics the same as before or different? I may sneak down if I get a break, but I am expecting my week to be horrendous at that point in time. I am almost afraid to show up to listen to them, because I know I will want to stay for the entire series, and I am pretty sure that I just do not have the time.
