Fr. C. John McCloskey III has great hopes for the future of the Church in 2012 and beyond. In his latest article,"Desiderata for 2012", he lists 7 needs of the Church that we can all begin working on today. One of these needs is:
"A laity that takes seriously Vatican II’s universal call to holiness and evangelization through their family lives, friendships, and presence in workplaces and public affairs. The local parish is very much in last place. It exists to provide opportunity for worship and reception of the sacraments, Catholic formation and catechetical education. Ideally it should be a launching pad to change the world, not a place to hide from it."

I recognize this picture of St. Patrick's Church on Camp Street in New Orleans. It is so beautiful. Have you been there?
