Week Sixty-Seven - St. Ignatius Loyola, aka, Home Base
4:30 Saturday afternoon mass, St. Ignatius. The "tour" is becoming more complicated. I've visited almost all of the churches within a reasonable distance from my home. As a result, it's now taking more time, more planning, and more gas to visit those churches remaining on the list. Troubling. In the meantime, the holiday weekend was pulling me in a number of different directions. Therefore, at the request of the fam, it was a quick one minute drive down the road to St. I's for Saturday afternoon mass.
The church was surprisingly full . . . who are these people? Have things really changed that much in one year? It was less than comforting to realize the only people I recognized were "the old fogies" - my friends' parents, my children's friends' parents. Guess the next generation has moved in.
I have to say, with the exception of those beaten-beyond-recognition hymnals, St. I's wasn't looking half-bad this go-round. Something was different. The popular concensus was that the ceiling had been painted. Odd, I know. There was a new cabinet for the holy oils. Wow . . . the things you notice in the church you've spent the last twenty years in.
ATTENDANCE: Comfortably full
DURATION: One hour
