Fr. Jack

We went to adoration yesterday in the middle of the night, got an hour of sleep afterwards and then carpooled from Ducksville to Trentown for the ordination of one of the seminarians which we had in our parish during the past year.

We did not go to the reception, although invited, and by the time we got home after a dismal lunch in one of those Crackerbarrel stores, it was shortly after 5 p.m. The cathedral had wonderful acoustics, the design is sort of faux Romanesque which did not do much for me but I could see the proceedings very well although we were almost in the back. I am just thrilled that I went......
