Views From The Pews
Mardi writes, “I can hardly hear the
speakers at the podium. Please increase
the microphone volume on the altar. Thanks.”
“Audio is like thermostat settings. Some,
like you, want the volume higher. Others want it
lower. Some want the thermostat set lower.
Others want it set higher. We are all different and,
unfortunately, I cannot please everyone. What is
good for some is bad for others.
Look around for speakers and try sitting
closer to one.”
Anonymous writes, “Bob said last Sunday that we
are fortunate to have Father Mike. In a lot of ways
we are. But he never respect my husband and I. He
never answers our good morning. We been going to
Visitation for 20 years and this never happens. He
has to answer to God.”
“I apologize. I shake tons of hands, kiss
many cheeks and say hello to many, many people
after each Mass. I NEVER deliberately avoid
anyone. However, it is physically impossible to
greet all. There are just too many people coming
through the doors at the same time. PLEASE!
Stop when you say good morning and grab my
attention. I’d love to greet you.”
Fr. Mike

Did You Know?
As I told you last week, only 53% of
Americans believe it is necessary to believe
in God to be moral. In France, the
number is fifteen percent.

HELP FOR ZACHARY
The Archdiocese of
Tororo, Uganda has asked
us to help it get a
mechanically sound used
car for one of its
seminarians, Zachary
Oburu. Zachary was an
intern here last summer.
He has also spent many of
his holidays here. Zachary
is studying at Notre Dame Seminary on
Carrollton Ave., but he will be a hospital intern
this summer in Orlando and needs basic
transportation.
If you would like to help, make your check
payable to Visitation of Our Lady Church and
put the words “Zachary Oburu” in the memo
line. Tororo also says it would accept the “loan”
of a car for the summer.
