After a long Saturday, I needed to find another Sunday afternoon mass. I fear I may be running out of those soon. And they are still my favorite. I realize more and more it would have been easier to write a blog about going to church every week for a year rather than a blog about going to a different church every week for a year. Oh well. What fun would that be anyway?
I made my first westward trek to Sacred Heart in Glyndon for 5 pm mass on Sunday. If I were writing a blog for brides to be looking for a wedding destination, I think I would have to include this one. If I were writing a blog about where you could get into a accident in the parking lot, I would include this one too. But I digress...
The church is big and has seating almost in the round. There is a babbling baptismal font in the back and lots of windows that make the inside bright. It's another church where I am drawn to the space. It's open. It's quiet without being silent. The crowd was mostly made of up of families and seemed reasonably friendly.
Music came out of brand new Gather books that have the updated Roman Missal. There wasn't a lot of singing. The homily was about the purpose of suffering. I thought it ran a little long, but mass ended at 5:53. Another good night.
They also have soccer and volleyball. A plus in my book. And a John Hooper Field. That makes me lean to St. Francis of Assisi...home of the other Hooper Field. See you next week!
