Read this article and found it thought provoking... someday it might... someday it might... and when that day come, it will be a sad day indeed.
Not long after Rich Salazar moved to DeKalb, Illinois from California, he found himself knocking at the door of St. Mary's Church. The then-college student had recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and was in crisis mode. Unable to reach his mother at work and not knowing where else to go, Salazar told himself, "I have to go to church."
Father William Schwartz answered his knocks and although the parish was closed for the evening, invited him in. This priest called his mother and told her he could stay at the church as long as he needed. "He talked to me, calmed me down," Salazar says. "He was very kind. I told him the church has never let me down."
That's when Father Schwartz responded, "Someday it might."
