Concerned Catholic: As his mother, I always saw something special in Adrian. I never had to force him to go to Mass; he continued altar serving throughout secondary school and was an active member of the Catholic Society at his university. Although he found a job in the City, I wasn’t surprised when he told me he had spoken to Fr Andrew about the priesthood. He was upset, however, after he met the vocations director and other candidates. The priest ranted about the old Latin Mass, which Adrian doesn’t attend. Adrian found the other men odd. He doesn’t want to think about vocation any more. I am upset because Adrian is upset. What can I say to him?
