BTW, how are you holding up and do you know if St. Patrick's survived the flood and the looting?
St. Patrick's is doing pretty well. We have no physical damage, and looting was not a factor there. Not everyone is back yet, and my RCIA class is still very sparsely attended, but that is slowly improving. Some people were wiped out by the storm, and will be a long time recovering. Some will not be coming back (among them Askel, it appears -- please remember her in your prayers). So I have some concerns about whether finances will be adequate over the longer term, and how the Archdiocese may rearrange priests, property, and pecunia. We too will have a solemn High Mass this Sunday, at which I'll be MCing. It'll be the first SHM since June. I am looking forward to it, and take heart from the fact that Cardinal Estevez's Mass, unlike that of Cardinal Castrillon's at Sta. Maria Maggiore in 2003, seems not to be merely ex officio.
