I didn't grow up Catholic but grew up across from one of the biggest Catholic parishes in Chicago: St. Mel's and many friends were Catholic. I'd visit St Mel's (with a hanky on my head -- as I didn't have a hat!). They could come visit my church in those days, but Vatican II fixed a lot of that. I worked at Catholic TV in 1980--getting and my first piece for them was "Walk with me, God, Part III!" (love the "part III!) It was about the importance of sponsors for the confirmands. It was trial by fire but I learned so much about Catholocism--and tv production. Then produced a 1/2 hour doc called "Changing Habits" about the conflict between the Vatican and American nuns (for the 20th anniversary of Vatican II) It won an Emmy and got lots of press. Again--came to really admire those nuns and learned a lot about them! So I feel like I'm now an "honorary" catholic with all that immersion!
Your article on St Patricks Day was very informative and well written, thanks for sharing this information. St Patricks day celebrations
