From Station Leader Ingrid:

We met a mother who asked for prayers for her newborn daughter. She was born prematurely and is the only one of her four children who has needed to remain in the hospital after birth. The parents visit her every day, with the mother and father going together after he finishes work. Please keep this family in your prayers.
We also met a teenage Christian girl who was curious about the Rosary and wanted to know what it was. We explained that the Rosary is a prayer of meditation that helps us contemplate the life of Jesus through the eyes of His Blessed Mother. She was interested in learning more, so she took a Rosary and a brochure explaining how to pray it.

From Station Leader Alpa:

Two encounters to highlight, out of the many that we had during this extended outing:

We spoke to an older couple who asked for prayers for their grandchildren and children. After we prayed together, we started to talking and sharing. They both identified as Catholic, but during the conversation, the woman said something along the lines of "When [her husband] got home from mass that morning..." That's when I asked her if she had gone to a different mass. This simple question changed the direction of the conversation. She confided in me that she no longer attends mass because of a trauma that happened to a dear friend of hers. Now, whenever she's in the church, she gets triggered and her mind goes back to that trauma. She said she has a very strong faith, but just can't get herself to mass. We prayed for her healing, and I asked her if she's tried different liturgies, like the Latin mass, she said no. Meanwhile, her husband was very encouraging of the direction of the conversation and stood listening and smiling as we spoke. I apologized for the trauma and as she was walking away, she said "I will think about getting back to church."

We spoke to a young woman who was Protestant, but this past Lent, she prayed the rosary every day. After Lent, she became convinced of the truth of the Catholic faith. She shared her faith journey in detail and we spoke about OCIA, and I shared about my experience of going through OCIA. She said she especially feels that Mary is leading her into Catholicism, and I told her that she's probably right. She is planning on joining OCIA where she lives in Northern NJ and after our conversation, she hugged and thanked me.

Many Catholics stopped by our table to receive a free Rosary, share their faith, or simply let us know they were Catholic. We thank God for every encounter.
