    I've never been to an Easter Vigil without a baptism. I'm wondering how many folks are at parishes with no baptisms vs. many baptisms.
  • No baptisms here for the first time in at least a decade. (And I was so looking forward to adding Kateri Tekakwitha in the Litany of the Saints...)

    Our (new) priest is attempting to learn the Exhaustet er, Exsultet in the (new) English version. He claims it is quite different from the version back home, in Sri Lanka.

    Jesus Christ Is Ris'n Today will be played on our donated Roland Plug-In piano. On the "Pipe Organ" setting. I could just weep. Church mice got to our Allen. >Sob!<
