St Marks - my own humble parish
By the way, believe it or not, unless you happenned to go to the Future Church website and note the address, you would not know that they were "headquartered" at St. Marks, or, more accurately, in Father Doug's bedroom. It's not like I ever read about it in the bulletins...
Not to say that I haven't groaned my way through a few of his sermons
For what it's worth, the word on the street is that Doug is now dealing cards in Las Vegas...really
Given his old AOL profile, I can believe Father doug is now a card dealer in Vegas. Everything below is from Mark Shea's blog:

And, as if to oblige me, St. Mark's in Cleveland, OH (aka Future Church, dedicated to the demolition of Catholic sexual morality as well as other trendinesses) offers the following bulletin announcement for Christmas:
CHRISTMAS MASSES: 4 pm. Mass is the Children’s Mass. It is awful. This is the mass that most people who go twice a year, go to. IT IS CROWDED! People arrive at 3:15 and the church is full by 3:30. After sitting for 45 minutes, Mass begins and it is LOUD and the kids are off the wall! Try the 6 pm. for a nicer atmosphere and spiritual setting. Most beautiful are 10 pm. and 11 am. on Christmas Day. NO 9 am. Mass this year and no morning mass on Christmas Eve Day.

Jeepers! What a hipster! How can somebody as in tune and spiritual as him bother with a bunch of screaming brats. Put a latte machine in the vestibule!
