I don't think I ever visited a new church on vacation and wished that church could be relocated to…read more where I lived. I felt that way about St. Patrick's during the two Masses I attended over the Christmas holidays. The homilies of both were memorable, the priests warm, personable, and welcoming. On Christmas Day our priest started the Mass late because he was chatting and didn't realize how late it was. To watch him you could tell he was obviously a good friend to many of the parishioners, and seemed to know everyone by name. My gay-dar pinged when he started Mass which might have been why I immediately liked him. (I love me some gays.) In fact, during the homily when he said "swaddling clothes... whatever THOSE are," I couldn't help but hope he'd slip a sing-song "fabu-lous!" next, although the only gays who do that are in movies. His homily was easily the best I've heard all year - fun and interesting to listen to and inclusive and welcoming. It reminded me of the joy of having a class with a really good professor you could listen to talk all day. The next Mass had a different officiant. He had a really interesting homily about the "Twelve Days of Christmas" song, and you could tell everyone was really listening. My family even talked about the homily in the car on the way home after Mass. The only minor quibble I had was that the priests stand right in front of the back doors of the church when Mass is over so you can't avoid shaking hands with them. I figure priests shake as many hands as politicians so I couldn't wait to get home and sanitize. Also, the front steps are really steep. I note this because my dad walks with a cane and they were a bit much for him. The choir, and in particular the main cantor, had a really impressive soprano range. The guy on piano who resembled Clarence Thomas had a really nice deep voice as well. Except for Clarence Thomas and a smattering of Mexicans, this church was full of honkeys. And lots and lots of old people. And those old people might not know a friend of Dorothy even if he preached right in front of them.

But a church of people who want to be Christ Like with their whole being, they ready for Christ return.

Wednesday at 6pm. They have the most honest preaching, prayer, and praising, going on.
