Put Out Into the Deep

In the past few issues of the Sooner Catholic, we have featured each of the five young men who are preparing for ordination to the priesthood this summer.

It has been a marathon, but as of May 31 the historic “One Church, Many Disciples” campaign officially has ended. Now is the time to look back, assess the results and, most importantly, to express gratitude. Thank you!

I think we all would admit that the past few years have been times of rapid change in our world, in our nation, in our Church and in our archdiocese.

Every pope since Saint Paul VI has been insistent in calling the whole Church to a renewal of faith, especially in nominally Christian or formerly Christian parts of the world where faith has grown cold.

Throughout the Easter Season the Church’s newest members continue to reflect upon the meaning of their experience at the Easter Vigil when they were fully initiated into the mystery of Christ and His Church through Baptism, Confirmation and the Eucharist.
