WAUNAKEE — One of the common myths of our time is that the Catholic Church is on the decline: that the faithful are a dwindling minority, becoming more and more irrelevant.
But when one attends a celebration such as the Rite of Election and Call to Continuing Conversion, held in the Diocese of Madison on February 26 at St. John the Baptist Church in Waunakee, the joy and determination of the people who have come seeking to join the Catholic Church make that myth seem absurd.
