St Joan of Arc Parish

I went over two years. My friend is black. A couple had a problem with it. The wife refused to give me communal wine. They refused to acknowledge us to say peace be unto you and shake our hand. When my friend didn’t go for a few weeks they started chatting. Once he came back again it was back to ignoring me. When my son’s aunt died I left a message with secretary and priest voicemails. I told them she was Hindu but also believed in Jesus and Mother Mary. I wasn’t born Catholic and didn’t know what prayers to say or what I should do. I never got a call even just to say I’m sorry for your loss. They still could’ve said sorry for your loss. I told them she was like a second mom to my son. they probably had a problem with her being Hindu too. Many Hindus pray to Jesus and Mother Mary too. Long story to explain their ideology. My brother-in-law was airlifted and was on his death bed almost three weeks ago. I was crying and called to see if I should do a petition (I still don’t know what that is for sure) or what. When I asked where the priest was I was told he wasn’t there. He was there and over there. This building and that building. When I asked about a petition she took so long to reply I thought she hung up. I think she was talking to the priest. She came back on I had to make a donation for a petition. I was crying I told her I don’t have any money and didn’t know what to do. She asked if he was Catholic. I said no. (Although I’m not positive.) She finally said she’d put me on a prayer list. The next day my dad flunked his stress test for his heart. He had 99% blockage in an artery in his heart. I didn’t bother to call because I knew the priest wouldn’t pray for him either. A couple of days later my friend and I get letters asking for donations. I called and left a message and said I’m on disability I only get $1152/mo. My friend lost his and makes maybe twice I do after taxes and support. I give only a dollar for each because we have no money. I can’t even really afford what I give. I’m on 12 meds and he’s on 22 without any insurance now. I guess in the Bible story when the woman gave the only money she had even though she was poor and needed it. And she was praised for doing that. I guess I’m in the real world my church didn’t care. They wanted more money than I had to give. I really needed prayer and guidance three times this year and I didn’t get any sympathy. It still hurts me. We loved going there. Part of me is so heartbroken I don’t know if I want to be Catholic any more.
