Fr. Joe Newman, OSFS on Lessons from a Homecoming Dance

"Finding a date for the homecoming dance your freshman year in high school is challenging. This is especially true when you attend an all-male high school. This was my case when I was a freshman at St. Francis de Sales School in Toledo, OH. Luckily, I was in the band! The marching band consisted of guys from St. Francis and girls from our two neighboring sister schools. In the fall, the band traveled to a local rollercoaster park, Cedar Point. I decided I would ask a girl from the band to the homecoming dance during our trip to Cedar Point. As a romantic, I thought there would be no better place to ask than on a hill of a rollercoaster."

In a recent commentary, Father Joe Newman, OSFS, reflected on the search for a homecoming dance date vis-à-vis our relationship with God.
