Hello Friends—
Here’s our ordo for this Sunday, for those who can make it. FWIW, Fr. Arul’s bishop is visiting from India, so if we could manage a fuller showing, that would be appreciated, though you are certainly under no obligation.
And before I get sidetracked any further, in case you haven’t seen my series of catechetical videos, here is a helpful blogpost that collates most of them into one place. You’ve all heard me rant before (lol) but I’m sure there’s something new in some of them that you haven’t heard before.
