On an early April morning, over 140 men from throughout the Diocese gathered with our Bishop for Eucharistic adoration, breakfast, and fellowship. We celebrated the 99 people in our Diocese who entered the Catholic Church at Easter. New Catholic, Merv Bassett, was our guest speaker. His journey included his early conversion before becoming a Pentecostal pastor. Over the past three years, he has been on a journey of research and discovery, being received into the Catholic Church at Easter. Coordinator for the event, Mike Stopforth, said this is the fourth year the men’s breakfast has been held, and it continues to attract men of all ages. We give thanks for the grace of the Holy Spirit, who impels people into full communion in the Church.
