It's quite rare. I suspect a lot is down to the parish priest's own taste! <br />:-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33970956.post-7305903092979636152015-09-01T02:36:10.562+01:002015-09-01T02:36:10.562+01:00You make a good point.

We too easily accept that an under-maintained, social security office style decorated building with plastic stacking chairs and cheap stacking tables shall be the church hall, and we serve instant coffee and biscuits. Little touches can help, for example I once bought brown sugar globules of the type they serve at top end restaurants for a church event. It only cost a couple of pounds for the packet.<br />You do have to be realistic, however. A lot of parishes can't organise after Mass coffee at all. We certainly don't have it (no hall).

I am convinced that the Ordinariate, committed precisely in that way and already distinguished by the many sacrifices of its members (especially its clergy), will constitute one of the greatest legacies of the Pope Emeritus and fills me with hope for the salvation of these islands.<br /><br />I hope that Ordinariate members know how deeply they are cherished by those of us who have not been called upon to make their sacrifices and to exercise their courage. The seed has been sown and the harvest will be glorious, however long it may take - and the mere passage of years is as nothing.<br /><br />Your unstinting work in favour of this magnificent act of reclamation of the English Church does you credit.Anthonynoreply@blogger.com
