Visiting the cathedral of the plains in Victoria
Last Monday, the school took the juniors to visit the Cathedral of the plains in Vitoria, Kansas. It broadened our knowledge in three ways. First, we received a very formal mass. At about 8:00 p.m. We all arrived at the cathedral, walked in and sat down. The father gave us mass and we all prayed. Most of the students were Catholic and we sang hymns. Second, we received a special lecture. We went upstairs and sat in a conference and listened to a lecture. The lecture was about helping the poor in the world and it was given by a student leader from Fort Hays States University. She showed us some pictures and said, “There are many poor people who need food, water, and medical services in Africa.” Third, students discussed the acceptance of Catholicism in the world. At around 1:00 p.m. Everyone was asked to sit together and discuss Catholicism in other countries. Nick led the discussion and I was asked a tough question, “Is Catholicism accepted in China?” I thought for a while and answered, “As long as you don’t mix religion with politics, it is acceptable.” Then everyone began to talk about Catholicism in their own countries.
