Gail Besse on a Holy Hour Bringing Hope to Parents of Fallen-away Catholics

"A holy hour of Eucharistic adoration recently brought hope and comfort to parents worried about their grown children's spiritual welfare.

"Mary and Paul Alciere of Hingham, Massachusetts, married 65 years and the parents of six, planned the holy hour.

"'So many children who were raised Catholic don't attend Mass now or have left the Church. They're divorced, living with boy/girlfriends. . .'” said Mary. 'I'd been thinking for a while this needed to be done.'

"The service that she and Paul designed drew more than 50 parents to St. Paul Church in Hingham, a Boston suburb, on a Saturday morning."

In a recent commentary, writer Gail Besse reflected on this holy hour and its effects.
