Dear Angela,
You might be surprised with who has Jewish ancestry. I didn’t think I would find many Catholics of Jewish ancestry in Tasmania. I have since met a number of them that probably wouldn’t have revealed their Jewish origins if I hadn’t been visible about being a Hebrew Catholic. When I was visiting Cavan in Ireland one of the librarians at the Cavan Library who was a Protestant told me in a whisper that his grandmother had been Jewish and was thrilled when I gave him my Siddur as a gift. When I was at Waterville at the Ring of Kerry two ladies hopped off a bus and approached me who were Jewish and we had a marvellous chat.
cheers Br Gilbert Joseph
