The Holy Week Family Missions led by the Regnum Christi members at St. Michael in Gastonia, NC was incredibly fruitful! This was the 5th straight year! It was a great week & for the first time they were able to welcome a legionary to join them – Fr. Stephen Ellis! Thank you, Fr. Stephen! It was a Triduum of tremendous blessing with over 120 missionaries and many children and young adults! We would welcome any and all of you to join next year as we plan for more service and prayer with the community! Missionaries and families joined for whatever their scheduled allowed – 1 day, 1 activity, the whole mission, etc.. Many activities were enjoyed by all, including: Preparing 100 Easter baskets from parishioner donations for the poor, distributed BBQ sandwiches, praying right there with the people we encountered and among the missionaries, Catholic Seder Meal & Mass of the Lord’s Supper, cooking and serving dinner at the Salvation Army, visiting elderly shut-ins of the parish, meeting the homeless on the streets of Gastonia and sharing some essentials with them, participating in Living Stations of the Cross in Downtown Gastonia, and Door to door evangelization in the neighborhoods surrounding St. Michael.
