(Would be kind of hard anyway to only socialize with Catholics given they are such a small percentage there.) Some groups have pretty aggressive prosilytizing efforts, so it is important for kids to be secure and well-informed in their own faith.Melody Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00442985285647041700noreply@blogger.com
