I remember what Vic Minnick said to me on the phone. Our diocese will not allow them on any of our campuses. They are smiley, happy, squeaky clean kids who jump and the name of Jesus and have no idea who he is or what life is about. I ve watched this crowd a long time. There is nothing there.
Faith is no more than skin deep feel-good faith.
My suggestion is that you teach your children to have real faith that prepares them for real life. I never allowed them on my campus. Advent can and must be a time for preparation. There is always a part of the Christian life that is an eternal Advent. It s developing a faith that can face life as it comes and a life that never gives up on hope knowing that Christ is the source of that hope.
