Katholikos Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Does HSmom have the little booklet that explains the San Damiano Cross in detail for educational purposes? Written by that priest (president or chairman emeritus or . . .) at Franciscan University whose name I can't remember at the moment. Scott Hahn's boss.
homeschoolmom Posted June 11, 2007 Author Posted June 11, 2007 No... she doesn't. That would be cool....
homeschoolmom Posted June 11, 2007 Author Posted June 11, 2007 Thank you. I love that crucifix and I knew HSson would (he does) because it's so visual... and it's something that he can have his whole life.

See, now I'm glad my son's going to be in a dark suit on Saturday. Belated Congratulations!
Theologian in Training Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 So, wait, you had first communions on Saturday? My pastor has been pushing for that, but, of course, the staff is opposed..

There were five First Communion masses-- 11 am and 1 pm on Sat., 1 pm on Sun. on the first weekend.... 1 pm Sat., and 1 pm Sun. the following weekend. Why is the staff opposed?

[/quote] Because they don't like priests and are secretly angry because they can never be one (ahh the joys of an all-women staff...our staff meeting went from 9:30 this morning until 2:00 this afternoon) so much anti-clericalism and negativity too. The other reason is because they don't feel as though those receiving first communions are part of the "community" when they receive first communion during a separate Mass...

homeschoolmom Posted June 12, 2007 Author Posted June 12, 2007 Hoo boy. Silly. I could see if you had a very small parish with only a handful of First Communicants it might make sense to have First Communion during a regular mass.... But I bet if you asked any eight year old if he "felt part of the community" or not, he would look at you like this You should suggest that from now on, all weddings be done during regular masses... so that the bride feels "part of the community." (because you know how much brides hate to draw attention to themselves )

homeschoolmom Posted June 12, 2007 Author Posted June 12, 2007 Also, another nice thing about having a Saturday mass was that my son was excited to receive his second communion the next day.
