Parish Council Meeting and Bucknell Evangelization, Oct. 2025

I had plans to make coin rings at Bucknell on October 2nd, and then I learned that there was a parish council meeting that same night and they were inviting parishioners to come to the meeting and sign up to speak. I’ve long wanted my street evangelization to be more of a parish initiative rather that just a guy with his friends, and so I went there with a friend and we pitched the idea. The parish council and my pastor all seemed excited about the idea but unsure how to make it happen, but they gave me their blessing to try to expand the ministry and evangelize in the name of the parish. At their suggestion, I will also find a time to speak after each of the Masses, and I’ll also have a booth outside where people can see the ministry in action. (I still need to do this.) It was very exciting! We left the meeting after our part was over and made our way to Bucknell where I was met by two more friends who traveled from Bloomsburg. We had the best parking spot on campus and made many rings and had several wonderful conversations with students, several of whom were Catholic and seemed to really be passionate about their faith. It was an encouraging evening!
