San Marco Church
Marco Island, FL
Friday evening, Sandy and I had the pleasure of attending a Lenten Fish Fry at San Marco Catholic Church on Marco Island. In addition to enjoying the fish, coleslaw, potatoes, ice cream, and wine, we had a great time meeting the parishioners and other tourists from all parts of the U.S. Later Sandy commented, "This is what the Church does right; it can create an instant community out of this diverse group of strangers." And of course, as always, she was correct. The young and old; Republicans and Democrats; blacks, whites, Latinos and Asians: locals and tourists; even some Kentucky Wildcat fans; all were mingling and having a great time together.
As Vatican II suggested, the people of God are the ones who create community, not the hierarchy.
