Our 150th Pictures



Here is a link to our 150th Anniversay Celebration Flickr page. Music will take a little longer, moving images a little longer still.
I just love those red vestments.


Just remember, not that I am proud or anything, but my parish and its friends did this!

Where to begin? Smells and bells, wonderful liturgy, beautiful music, choir on top form, pithy sermon, MC and servers in discreet choreography, an altar BOY, packed church, huge turnout of male worshippers. Most of all, palpable reverence and the quiet intimacy of minds and hearts focusing on the central sacrifice.
I think this celebration of the Mass will stay with all of us for a long time to come.
"That was the real thing," a somewhat dazed Catholic convert said to me afterwards. He nailed it.
