Hello again, It is February 6th and I am at my desk in the Parish Center. It has been snowing since yesterday at 10:00am. It is snowing now. We have about 20 inches of snow and I think Washington, DC is at a stand still. No one has come to plow our street and our excellent facilities team has made some paths and cleans off the stairs and entrances to the church and center. I think the parking lot will have to wait.
I had the 8:00am Mass this morning and there were four people. At 11:00am there were about a dozen. Fr. John had the 5:30pm Vigil Mass and he said there were about 80 people. The TV keeps telling people to stay home and now that it is dark, I think most people will settle in. Last night I went through all my Christmas mail and put the pictures in some order to bring over here and fill my bulletin board with those wonderful reminders of family and friends.
I am heading over to the rectory where there is Lipton chicken noodle soup and Ritz crackers. I am content. We shall see what the dawn brings. I am still trying to allow comments but you can always write me at mauryoc@prodigy.net as well.
Keep warm
Love,
MO
