Kathy,
I'm praying for your Church and for you and Greg.
I have been to Catholic Churches where they did believe in the baptism of
the Holy Spirit, and the gifts of The Holy Spirit. It was really neat,
because I first received the Baptism of The Holy Spirit at the University
of Portland, which was conducted by a Catholic Priest.
God's Blessings.
Love,
Pat Ferguson
