The Three-Day Weekend

This Friday, February 2, at 6 PM, we have our First Friday Sacred Heart Community Mass.  On that day, we also celebrate the feast of the Presentation of the Lord, where Jesus is presented in the temple as our light.  The Mass begins with a procession with candles (thus the traditional name, Candlemas).

Yet Another Three-Day Weekend

Five of my last six weekends have been three-day weekends.  Not complaining one bit.  Keeps us active, right? Right. ;)

This Friday is our First Friday Sacred Heart Community Mass.  It's also the Memorial for St. John Neumann, a Bohemian-born bishop who came to the United States.  He was Bishop of Philadelphia from 1852 until his death in 1860 (at the young age of 48 - incidentally, the age of my father at his death).
