Our service does not begin until 8:30 tonight. We will be lucky to be out before midnight.

We just finished 5 hour of decorating the Church for this evening. The church is beautiful. if Father John puts up photos, I'll add one to this thread.

BTW, I am curious, during your Thursday Mass did you have any women getting their feet washed??? In the past we use to do it, rumor has it that a directive came from our Bishop that only men were to have their feet washed.

LOL, I bet the lefties were ticked off.

ONly men. A couple of guys couldn't show up at the last minute, so they asked for men to volunteer.

We are a pretty conservative parish. Rubrics are followed pretty closely.

**rumor has it that a directive came from our Bishop that only men were to have their feet washed.**

I wish this would happen with our bishop!
