The Priesthood of All Parochial Schools



Catechesis has left a new comment on your post "The Priesthood of All Believers":

So that explains why WELS is baptizing students at its high schools.

Under Picture This p.27 in the April 2011 Forward in Christ: "Jerry attended Kettle Moraine Lutheran for one year and graduated in 2010. He came back to KML to be baptized among his friends there."

In the May 2011 FIC p. 25 District News, Southeastern Wisconsin: "On Feb. 24, six students at Wisconsin Lutheran High School, Milwaukee, Wis., received the sacrament of Holy Baptism."

I guess no need for the local parish. No need for the local pastor. And while we're at it, why not have physical education teacher do it? He (or she) is in the public ministry after all.
