Grandchildren living with us are receiving First Communion next week, but I will not attend, as I didn’t for Baptism, as I can not stand to watch the profanity of Communion-in-the-(dirty)-Hand.

Two 11-year-old girls were baptized tonight at my parish.

Don’t confuse personal life with doctrine and dogma.

Start to learn, investigate, and above all to think, like these notables below:

Amen. You cannot seperate the Eucharist from the Bible.

Our parish had 37 catechumens. These were NOT first communion children, but rather brand new adult Catholics.

The Vigil Mass was 3½ hours long and quite beautiful.

Nice happytalk from the USCCB! No mention of the hundreds of thousands who have left the Church.

Our parish had the biggest number in years this year. The vigil mass went on for 3 hours. My wife was one of them. Emotional for both of us.

Almost 3 hours, kneeling for about 45 minutes of that. Stretched out my thigh muscles pretty good.

Had a couple of dozen candidates, confirmations and some baptisms too.

Wife sponsored a confirmant.

We don’t have that in Poland. Take communion on your tongue and don’t hold out your hand — the priest is forced to place the host in the orthodox way. That’s what I do when I visit stateside
