One literally graduated the next day from Oregon Institute of Technology and moved to Texas to begin an internship as a nuclear medicine nurse; the other finished the semester and moved back home to Bend, OR. I was blessed to connect them both with their local parishes! Our parish has 4 who are in the Inquiry stage for the summer. One is moving to another part of Oregon, but I have her connected with the new parish, who unfortunately, is only offering Sept-Easter RCIA, but I am still handling her annulment. 2 of the other 3 are starting the annulment process. The 4th is on track to probably enter the Pre- Catechumenate in September or October. God is Good! Thanks for your encouragement and this excellent website full of information!
