Actually, we did it here in Montpelier, the Capital of Vermont, for a few years. Around the block and down Main Street along the way. The place could certainly use a little exposure to something other than hippies and moonshots.
I’m not sure why it was dropped. Different choir director, and we have gone down from three priests in our church to one, as the younger ones have been sent elsewhere.
We do still have full dress Knights of Columbus, who show up for Holy Week with their full dress, hats and swords.
Hello neighbor! I did not realize you were just across the border. Have you been watching the History Channel program - 'How the States Got their Shape'? On a recent program, they posted a list of 4 states (including VT) and posed the question - "which state is the least religious?" I had to step away for a few minutes and missed the response. So, how is the state of religion in VT?
You should see what they do at St John Cantius Church in
Chicago They have processions around the city streets,and
the choir did a flash mob scene downtown to honor a prominent parishoner. Great stuff. Right now the Choir is in Krakow, Poland singing at the cathedral.
