This Sunday's a bit full.
We have our usual four Masses at 7:30 a.m., 9:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m. and 6 p.m. I'll be preaching at all of them, but we also have Life Chain from 2:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m., when we stand along San Pedro Avenue on the northside of San Antonio to give a prayerful and public witness to the sanctity of human life from the moment of conception.
Then it's a rush back to get to the church just in time for Solemn Evensong at 4:00 p.m., which is the inaugural event for the new Schola-in-residence, Musica Sacra, under the direction of Dr. Robert Finster -- a beautiful time of prayer with lots of glorious music. There'll be a reception in the Pope John Paul II Library following Evensong, but I doubt I'll be able to do more than just stop by quickly, since it'll be pushing up again the evening Mass. Just another day in the neighborhood...
Anyway, if you live in the San Antonio area, I hope to see you at one or more of these events.

Father Christopher-
Speaking of Solemn Evensong.........
Over the last few days I have found mention of several small groups forming to establish an Anglican Use presence by doing a Solemn Evensong. Bet you didn't see that coming!
Why can't an Anglican Use Parish make an on-line recording of how to set up, arrange and do a evensong service? Make it available free or for a small donation or order a CD if they can't burn their own, so more groups can start doing it?
Seems like a logical thing to do.
Matthew, you're adding to my "to do" list!!
always glad to help!
