Easter Sunday, March 23, 2008 at St Patrick's Co-Cathedral: We had a full-voiced Standing Room Only crowd to celebrate our Lord's Resurrection. The choir was a little short on male voices, but we made up the loss with a mandolin player and a terrific 7th grade flautist and pianist, in addition to a lot of very nice female voices.
The new copper-lined baptismal font, above, which you can run into if you are not paying attention on entering the church, got a workout last night during the Easter Vigil with nine! adult baptisms. We got sprinkled today with the leftover Holy Water from last night.
Lots of lilies, what looked like new and shiny metal plates and goblets for the Eucharistic celebration, and what seems like a growing number of young kids. In fact, I saw some really nice dresses on 8-10 year old girls. One hat, on an adult lady, which looked like it was meant to keep the sun off. Whatever happened to Easter bonnets?
