Gerard Serafin came up with quite an impressive list of converts to the Faith. While we're out of place in such distinguished company, I'll also have to list my wife and me. She received the Sacraments at the Jubilee Easter, and I returned to the Church in 1991, having been removed to various Protestant precincts at age 6.
A homily by an old retired holy priest on Corpus Christi 1999 was the last straw for her, and the prompting was confirmed by a locution she heard during Eucharistic adoration a short while later.
I began my return the night after a relative's funeral Mass in 1988; the ground had been prepared by study of classical European civilization at the University of Illinois under professors Richard Scanlon (the toga'd Prophet of Illini Victory, now retired and a deacon) and Joel Relihan. I then read myself into the Church.
