FAITH
Since coming to DBCR, I've grown closer to the Lord. I told Father Lenny that I wanted to become Catholic, and he walked me through all the steps. I was able to get baptized and receive my first holy communion at DBCR during a mass with the Cardinal. My faith means a lot to me, and this was really special!"
