We are a fellowship parish!

I am on the current womens team for Christ Renews his Parish at our parish in South Bend. Some of our talk has been around increasing fellowship in our parish. Happily 3 year old PJ is getting into the spirit. Yesterday at mass we asked him to turn around and face the front but he very loudly announced "NO, I'm talking to these guys". Later on I was surprised to see him scratching his head on the hand of the gentleman in the pew behind us, who blessedly didn't seem to mind. Later he grabbed the hand of the three year old girl also in the pew behind us and gazed fondly in her eyes and WOULD NOT LET GO. At the end of the mass Christina genuflected deeply before the host. Not PJ. He was out like a flash towards the parking lot, giving Mommy a chance just to give a nod as if to say "see you later Jesus". He stopped just long enough to take the obligatory slurp of the holy water.
