Hm. That works out well.

There’s so much I’ve never known.
For example, I never knew that Priests For Life undertook a massive matching program a few years ago, in which they matched every freestanding abortion clinic they knew of with at least one parish. The idea is that each parish has a specific clinic to pray for, preferably within its parish boundaries. Sort of takes the “pray for an end to abortion” concept and makes it concrete, you know; I may pray for an end to abortion generally, but I also pray for the patients and employees at XYZ abortion clinic specifically, and for the closure of that same clinic.
Some of you may know that I drive a good little ways to go to church. There’s a parish about a quarter of a mile from my front door, but (embarrassed look) I really don’t like it there. And yes, I tried it several times. This wasn’t just an “I’m new here and I don’t like being new here!” experience. I’ve tried another local parish for Holy Days of Obligation, and it’s better, but I still don’t like it nearly as well as the parish I joined.
Anyway, all three parishes (the two local ones and the one to which I actually belong) are matched to the same clinic: WomanCare in Southfield, which I used to drive by on my way to work when I lived with my mother. Funny how things line up sometimes.
