great day today

Ah, today was a great day :) Four other guys and I went to a Latin Mass this morning at St. Alphonsus in downtown Baltimore becaue a couple of them hadn't seen one before. Larger pic here

Saint John Neumann lived in the present rectory as rector, master of novices, and vice-provincial. Another rector was Blessed Francis X. Seelos, C.SS.R. If he is canonized, Saint Alphonsus will be the only parish church in this country, and perhaps in the world, to boast of two former pastors as canonized saints.

Then we went to the Inner Harbor for lunch at the Cheesecake Factory and a quick trip to Barnes & Noble to pick up one of those laminated Latin charts for class. Overall, it was a great day indeed. Deo Gratias!
