While the days of regular travel to churches across the country are over, I still have the occasion to visit a new one from time to time when my regular job takes me out of town.
Today was just such an occasion, when I attended Mass at Prince of Peace in Olathe, Kansas (that’s pronounced O-lay-thuh. I know, I asked).
As most of my travel now is for business-related activities, I’m typically exploring new parishes for daily Mass. Such was the case today, and I was delighted to see an all-school Mass in session. These are always special, not just because the churches are far more filled to capacity than normal (and this one was particularly well-attended).
The priest presiding over today’s Mass was perfect for an all-school Liturgy. He not only had the kindly manner of Fred Rogers, he even sounded like him. And any comparison with Fred Rogers is about the highest compliment I can give, as I consider him one of the 10 greatest Americans of the 20th Century.
All in all, a beautiful morning.
