"A Blue Star first:

Father Clay offers reconciliation in restaurant"


Adapted from article by Katherine Jass López, in Today's Catholic. August 14, 2009.

"[This was the] third installment of the Summer Loving series of Theology on Tap, a discussion and lecture series that invites YA's from all walks of life to discuss Catholic topics of interest.

"Over 85 YA's gathered at Blue Star Brewery at 1414 S. Alamo, to learn how to build a solid foundation for loving themselves from Father Clay Hunt, parochial vicar at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Helotes.

"During the Q & A session, one YA in the crowd challenged that it is sometimes difficult to find a priest to hear confessions and Father Hunt put the challenge right back on the YA's: If you want something bad enough you go out and find it.

"Another YA in the crowd jokingly asked if Father Hunt would agree to stay at the Blue Star and hear confessions.

"Father Hunt agreed, That was the praise and work of the Holy Spirit.

"After the YA's prayed the Liturgy of the Hours with Father Hunt in the name of priests everywhere, Father Hunt offered the sacrament of reconciliation to over 25 YA's.

Way to go, Father Clay Hunt!!
