If it were ...Anonymous---we say that all the time. If it were just in Latin, we wouldn't have what amounts to 2 separate parishes sharing space. Though to be fair, our new pastor is doing more to bring the 2 together than anyone else has. Maybe that's why he didn't show up for Mass! ;-)<br /><br />Cynthia, I understand more French than Spanish, so that would be better for me.

I understand much more Spanish than I can speak (so far ;)In fact I make a point of going to a Spanish language celebration of Our Lady of Guadalupe each year bc the music is beautiful.

So that Catholics the world over could have the universal sacrifice that our dear Lord instituted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
