Saturday Mass

Being more of a Sunday Christian than an everyday one, I find Holy Week (before Easter) and Christmas week to be taxing because of the multiple services that are shoehorned into an already crowded calendar.

This Saturday, however, I was receptive to an "extra" service. The setting was St. Paul's, a 100-year-old church on the Peninsula.

A group had gathered for the annual convocation of the Deanery--one of the organizations that I participate in and one of the many that are sprinkled throughout the Church. I was in a contemplative mood. The passage of another anniversaire will do that to you.
