It has been quite a week, religion wise, for me and my family.
First my long time pastor passes away and they have the service for him a week ago Sunday. Many, many priests attend, including my current Church's Monsignor, Associate and Deacon. Many tributes from people and photos made into a booklet.
This week we celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the Ordination of our Parish's Priest, Monsignor Mike. Again, lots of visiting priests from other places where he had worked over those years and a booklet with photos of him back as a child and growing up. The cover of the booklet has him on Ordination Day, with an Irish twinkle in his eyes. Very cool.
My son got assigned the audio board and so he and I worked it. I hear the following Mass was going to be the real celebration, but trust me, ours was a good one, too.
Congratulations to Father Mike on his many years of service to not only the Santa Clarita Valley, but Palmdale (in the Antelope Valley) and Granada Hills (in the San Fernando Valley), too. It must have been quite a culture shock for that young Irish lad. :-)
