Don Bosco Cristo Rey students receive Sacraments of Initiation during special Mass with Cardinal Gregory
Cardinal Wilton Gregory celebrated a special Mass of Rites of Initiation on May 24 at Our Lady of Sorrows Church in Takoma Park, in which 18 students from neighboring Don Bosco Cristo Rey High School and a student from Elizabeth Seton High School in Bladensburg received sacraments to become full members of the Catholic Church. Students interviewed about the experience listed faith, family and a sense of belonging as inspirations on their spiritual journeys that led them to receive the sacraments.
Father Lenny Carlino, a Salesian of Don Bosco priest who serves as the theology department chairperson at Don Bosco Cristo Rey, led this unique Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults program for the students.
