Sunday was a good day. I went to Junction City to concelebrate mass for my niece's first communion. The day before the pastor fell and hurt his knee. So had all three of his Sunday masses for him. it was providential that I was there for him.
As I read blogs from around the states I get the sense that there are a lot of nominal Catholics. Even regular mass goers will nod their head to the priest and smile, but they do not really believe what the church teaches about confession, or contraception, or about the need to be in a state of grace to receive communion or about a lot of things.
Here in Kingman people show respect to the priest, but I can't tell if the faith is really getting through. What do you think?

I think you are planting seeds. Congrats to your niece. What a nice uncle!
i think most people go thru life never really engaging in the meaning of anything important let alone their faith and eternal destiny. "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." a few will break out and pursue something truly worth while but many will ignore their own potential.
