I think I told you I visited Mater Ecclesiae last summer on my birthday (Independence Day). I really like it there. The pastor gave a wonderful sermon about the questionable aspects of our nation's founding, from a Catholic perspective. After Mass, the Knights invited me to join them in the Independence Day parade they were going to be marching in nearby. I decided not to, but I was taken aback a bit that they were willing to invite me (a stranger, though a brother Knight).
I agree. There is a genuine sense of communion at Mater Ecclesiae that really permeates the good people there from their liturgical participation to their hospitality.
