Stephen Colbert, please do a parish coffee and doughnut social tour

Stephen Colbert, I shudder to think what we will do without you. As host of  CBS' "The Late Show" these past 11 years, you made us laugh, a lot, at ourselves and what was happening in the world around us (even when things have been pretty grim). But over the years, you have also made us think about all sorts of things, including, but not in any kind of preaching way, how faith can fit into people's lives because it seemed to seamlessly connect in yours.

The internet did a double take earlier this month with an image of  Pope Leo XIV walking on grass and looking down. He was wearing an ivory cassock and, to everyone's surprise, white Nikes with a black swoosh. Then last weekend, just as this photo was losing traction (so to speak), the leader of the world's Catholics did something most people without 12-year-olds around only know vaguely about: the viral "6-7" meme. And with that, the internet was once again off and running.

A parish announcement about a support group for those grieving the loss of a loved one struck a chord with me but not for obvious reasons. I wasn't grieving the dead. But I did wonder if there could be a similar group for those experiencing an ongoing loss of a loved one (as they had once been or could be) due to mental health issues. Ideally, it seemed like this would provide a unique setting for people to support each other, connected by their shared faith. Was this too much to ask?
