Yesterday I met a guy. It was during the soup and sandwich lunch our church has every Wednesday during Lent after the 11am Mass (which only happens during Lent). This guy was really kind and sweet. And turns out he is an alum from Notre Dame! He is part of the class of 1944. Awesome, huh!? He is 87 years old. And it turns out that he was the executive director for Catholic Charities of the Fort Worth Diocese. So this guy, Clem Constantine, is quite a big deal! I bet he has many leather-bound books and his house smells like rich mahogany. It was neat talking with him. There are so many Notre Dame connections down here, it's ridiculous!
On a side note, as I was leaving the cathedral today an older woman asked me what the top of my shirt said (on the back, since my hair was in the way). I told her, "Forming Leaders, Serving the Church." So I got to explain to her a bit about the Echo program and how I want to go into youth ministry afterward. She said her parish needs a youth minister, they don't have one at all. Maybe there will be a job opening next year!
