Deplorable of them. Somehow I doubt that the congregation on Sundays in such parishes is so severely overflowing the church edifice that there is no alternative but a Liturgy on Saturday evening. Fr. Serge

From the mid-fifties I can still remember a few old priests who served such a Liturgy at "side altars" at Saint George's Ukrainian Catholic Church, New York. Not a word was audible, and usually the only semblance of a congregation for such

One can do all sorts of things with words - and many of them are abusive. However, it is not particularly abusive to inquire just whom one has in mind as "the Church". My take on the problem with the Zoghby Initiative is that many people

Jump to new posts Re: Devotion to Saint Joseph by Serge Keleher @ Yesterday at 04:55 PM
