Do you have Catholics in your work place?
And does it help ?
In your religious life?
 
Yes! But then I teach in a Catholic School…I am much more surprised at the number of non-catholics employed there…
 
Yes, I work with other Catholics. Sometimes it surprises me to learn that someone goes to Mass or I’m surprised when they show up with ashes on their head. Other times I’m not surprised at all because we belong to the same parish.
 
I haven’t worked for a few years, when I was, yes.

It seemed like half the men that worked there were seminary washouts. Two of the guys went to St. Fidelis with Cardinal O’Malley
 
I’ve worked with Catholics. However, none are practicing. Very lame 😒
 
In college one of my best friends is Catholic. Very Catholic. I love the fact that he’s a Catholic, because I love Jesus and talking about him with someone and he really opens up with me about his true beliefs which I don’t think he does with others because they’re not believers.

Maybe the conversations we’ve had these years have subconsciously brought me closer to the Church even though I’m not a Catholic
 
We have some. Everyone, I think, knows I am so I often get questions from other Catholics. I will occasionally sponsor a mini Bible study for them. I consider many people at work, Catholic and otherwise, my friends.

Many ar work are not Catholic or even religious, and they are free to follow their own beliefs, or lack thereof.

I am careful not to impact job functionality, either on my part or on theirs.

I had the same thing, a very close friend in college who brought me into knowing about the Catholic Church for the first time. 😊
 
I’ve built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship, friendship causes pain
It’s laughter and it’s loving I disdain
I am a rock
I am an island 😒🚬
 
Just before I retired there was one Catholic where I worked, the rest were secular agnostics or atheists.

Besides him, the person most respectful of my Catholic faith was a Muslim co-worker.
 
I work for a Catholic Parish, so not only are my co-workers Catholic, most of the people I see are Catholic.😁
 
My boss is a daily masser. I like working for him. We get along well and can openly share our faith with each other. For a little while, he was an adult altar server at an evening daily mass. He would ask me questions about the in’s and out’s of serving.

The other nice thing is that you never hear the Lord’s name used in vain.

We have two other employees, both raised Catholic. One is an atheist and the other has simply fallen away.
 
I work with people of many faiths. The people I directly supervise are…Liberal Evangelical Christian, atheist, Jehovah Witness, agnostic, Methodist, and one guy who’s going to RCIA. My boss is a former JW turned agnostic. I have other co-workers who are everything under the sun, including Hindu, Jain, Muslim, Pentecostal, nondenominational Christian, and so on.
 
No, I work at a public University and sometimes feel like I am in the belly of the beast.
I do teach RCIA at my parish and that is a blessing, but at work, I am pretty well alone.
 
I have a few catholic friends at work. One is a lapsed Catholic going to a non denom church. I am trying to get him to go to mass with me. There’s also a few Protestants that I work with that frequently ask me about Catholicism. They may be attending mass with me in the near future.
 
My boss and I are working on framing our new bishop’s coat of arms today.

Talk about a Catholic workplace!

We get a lot of priests and religious in our store.
 
I currently spend a lot of time working in locations that aren’t an office.

During the years when I worked in offices, I don’t recall having any Catholic friends there, but it didn’t really matter because once I got past about age 26 I was only interested in going to work for work, not to make friends or have a social life. Most of the people I have worked with are so busy trying to juggle their work and family responsibilities that they don’t have too much time to be buddies, unless they are young and trying to hook up, or maybe become the boss’s buddy in hopes of getting ahead.
