| Students from St. John Vianney School arriving for Mass |
We attended 8:15 Mass at
St. John Vianney Church this morning. This parish is one of my all-time favorites: beautiful church, friendly people, reverent liturgy, excellent preaching. We didn't expect to see so many students from the parish school or the excellent music leadership from the school's "Praise Band". We enjoyed the contemporary music, some of it from non-Catholic Christian traditions, all of if well directed. The choir exercised the kind of discipline that gives the impression of spontaneity -- not an easy feat for a choir director, especially with young grade school singers.
The celebrant was "Father Bill", a retired priest from Buffalo who winters in this area. We've enjoyed his friendly demeanor and energetic preaching in the past and weren't disappointed this morning.
A great start to another sunny day on the beach.
