Since we're doing a St. Francis of Assisi Church Pilgrimage this year, his 800th year, we stopped…read moreback at Bend (doing an event in Redmond) to attend Sunday's Mass.
Fr. Victor (same name as our youngest), must have a good memory, because he smiled at me when I walked in the front door (I was wearing the same top, different skirt). Talking briefly to Fr. Victor, after mass, he remembered me again, and told me to wait for him for our separate blessing, after he had acknowledge the rest of the parishioners.
I love the fact that I started to carry on a conversation to the two Knights of Columbus members, out front, setting up a table for today's Breakfast Burrito Fundraising. (Then, again, on our way to the parking lot). Thank you, Fr. Victor for the group photo & blessing for our upcoming anniversary!
I love the fact, that we can follow through, the same Missal as the other church, since it's the same church, same priest, why not! The pews, are awkward though, we ended up sitting in the middle, for several reasons. One we got stuck with a tall guy, and this is the first time hubby wants us to move. "I can't see!"
Yes, I agree, sometimes, it's hard to hear what Fr. was saying, because of the speakers! (We were able to make it home back to Portland, to attend a 2nd mass on EWTN).
We also bought 2 Breakfast Burrito, and we had a picnic in our car, before we went in for our event, from the back door.
