The place seemed quiet today. I guess everyone was in a “recovery” mode. The party last night was a big sucess and it broke up around 1am. The crew was here today very early and taking down the tent and removing all the equipement. By three in the afternoon, the place was restored to BC (before celebration) and the kids have a playground for tomorrow. We have school tomorrow as they had off Friday.
I had the 10:30am Mass in the Church and we had a large crowd. There was a gentleman there who was at the party last night and had graduated in 1932. He lives in San Diego and his first grade teacher was Sister Pascal, CSC. I knew her when I was pastor at St. Bernard’s. She was the last sister of the Holy Cross to continue to wear the old habit. She was a sweet heart and very funny.
I helped with Communion at the 12:30 and also will help at the 5:30. This afternoon, I went through my bookcases in the rectory to find some books for the library sale. After Mass, I am going to go and see “The Ides of March”. It is a late show but I can sleep in on Monday because I have the 11:00am Mass. Today is the feast of St. Denis, so I prayed for all the Denis in my life. It is also Pat Berry’s birthday, so I called him. All in all, a good day.
Had one of YOUR experiences yesterday. A visiting couple stopped before Mass to introduce themselves. They were married (many years ago) at Ascension and had their reception at the American Legion near my home. Now they live in Delaware. We had a nice trip down memory lane!!
