This is an excerpt of an obituary from my hometown of Augusta, Georgia. The person who died, God rest her soul, was a classmate of mine in high school and attended the same parish church as I did, St. Joseph Catholic Church in Augusta.
I had lost contact with her long ago, but my memory goes back to the time she was an active Catholic and took her Catholic faith seriously as a young person.
Something happened! Was it her experience of the post-Vatican II Church and her modern Mass? God rest her soul!
Raised in the Catholic faith and later embracing Christianity, Evelyn was a woman of strong faith and resilience. She survived two terminal cancers—gallbladder and ovarian—including a 30-pound ovarian tumor. She often told how she prayed it would not be attached to any organs, and God answered her prayer.
Evelyn loved deeply, believed fiercely, and lived with grace. Her life was a testament to the healing power of God, the strength of a mother’s heart, and the joy found in everyday moments with loved ones—both two-legged and four.
A celebration of Evelyn’s life will be held on Monday, July 21, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. at The Sanctuary Church.

The Novus Ordo Church is collapsing. We all see it in our own families. Once solid Catholic families are splintered. Vatican II was a colossal bust
100% regarding collapse of faith and splintered families. In many instances, its gone from 1 or 2 lapsed Catholics within a family to the majority.
And life has been a white martyrdom ever since....
