We are loving these leisurely summer Sunday mornings when we don’t have to leave the house until 8:15 or 8:30, and we can all go to church together in one vehicle, and sit together as a family. Yesterday was, of course, Father’s Day, and appreciation was shown for all the fathers, as well as the(…)

What a beautiful Holy Thursday mass tonight with Bishop Olmsted commemorating Christ’s washing of the disciples feet; holy communion; the stripping of the altar, and the candle-lit procession of the Blessed Sacrament to the altar of repose in a beautiful recreation of the Garden of Gethsemane, as the choir chanted Pange Lingua.
