Cast Out Your Nets: Scottie Gratton
- Published in Cast Out Your Nets
Seminarian in the Diocese of Burlington, Vermont. He is 25 years old, and this is his 4th year in the seminary, the 4th of 6 years, God willing. One of the best parts of the seminary is that it has a pillar dedicated to pastoral ministry. The seminarians are entrusted with ministries in which they are sent out to serve people, donating their time. He has done apostolate in prisons, taught catechesis to children from 11-12 years old, worked with boys from inner-city schools, and recently he has finished two years of work in a nursing home in Rome with the Little Sisters of the Poor taking care of elderly that cannot take care of themselves and whose families do not have enough money to help them. In reality, his time there consisted in "spreading joy." It is the Lord who works through him.
