    Gee, where are you that the Church is allowed to be packed? We can't even go to Mass right now :(

    I was thinking about the possibility of having the Holy Friday procession in April of this year or not

    Every Thursday from 4pm until 10pm, we have Adoration at our parish. Fr. Schultz opens with the above rendition of O Salutaris. I am usually there by 9 PM and close with the singing of Tantum Ergo, the Solemn Blessing, and the singing of Holy God, We Praise Thy Name (2 verses) at 10pm... I wouldn't miss it for the world!

    Actually, my birthday is April 2 which is Good Friday this year. I have wondered.
    My son’s birthday will fall on Divine Mercy Sunday this year.:)

    I went to morning Mass today with my husband and kids and was pleasantly surprised to see many people there. It was definitely larger than the daily Mass crowd when I was attending in my early 20's.

    We also have adoration 3 times a week.

    If I wanted to save a Parish the very first thing I would try to do would be to have 24 hours Adoration.:)

    I notice that the very first thing the Cure of Ars did when he got there was to get people to Church and get the Church spic and span. Hoe bought the best Liturgical Accessories and Vestments he could get his hands on. Fit for a Cathedral.

    Is there anything sadder than a dirty, run down Church?:):)

    This is what our young pastor (in his 40s) did when assigned to our parish. “It was Beauty killed the Beast.” Maybe he's a clone of the Cure of Ars! He also recently resurrected the altar railing. Now that raised some eyebrows!:)

    Safe in the Refuge of the Immaculate Heart!

    Yes, and my parish priest at the time. Same day. Was it 2005?
    Yes. Just looked it up.
