Vikings Long Snapper Testifies to His Catholic Faith

Well, Kevin McDermott’s Minnesota Vikings lost a playoff game Sunday (10-9) that they should have won; too bad for a good team. Here a slice from the interview with the snapper with Trent Beattie of the National Catholic Register:

“Maybe the coolest thing I’ve ever been a part of was a Latin Mass in London. The 49ers were over there in 2013 for a game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the priest made available to the team only did Latin Masses. Usually, people associate traditional Masses like that with beautiful cathedrals — something I’ve experienced as an altar boy in Nashville — but this time, it was in a conference room of a hotel.

“Despite the plain surroundings, or maybe even because of them, I was so enthralled and moved by what was happening. It was an ordinary situation made quite extraordinary through the beautiful gift of the Latin Mass. Being a part of that with my teammates was unexpected and much appreciated.” Read full interview here.
