Happy Easter, Steve! If you were in these parts, I’d offer you a Spanish Easter Mass and a nice steak dinner!

Thank you, that is most generous of you. I actually managed to miss the Easter dinner this afternoon as well.

Probably a third of the Masses in this general area are en Español, but I don't attend Mass given in the vernacular out of personal preference. I would understand bits and pieces of the Spanish, short phrases like the counterpart for ITE, missa est (if that dismissal is used on Easter -- I forget), but not longer sentences like in the Homily.

It is always a problem for us on Easter because these traveling priests are busy at their home parishes and can't make the trip. Happens on the rare Christmas-on-a-Sunday as well. The two Sunday-Holydays you really don't want to miss.

Sorry for the mistakes in this - I am struggling typing angle brackets on the Android and battling the spelling correcteur.
