Saint Ignatius

Saint Ignatius was last week's church.  As you can see, I'm still behind.  I was tired last week after a long Saturday, and I wasn't sure I wanted to go to church.  Stupid blog.   The day and afternoon passed, and I was left to consult my list of Sunday afternoon masses.   St. Ignatius won out because it was the latest one.  I  have only been inside this church once before, and not for mass.  Sunday evening mass is in the basement chapel.  Good thing there is a sign on the door.

The chapel is pretty and dim and full of comfortable chairs.   There are 100-120 chairs in a semi circle.  There are stained glass windows of Jesuits.   There was a cantor and organ and suitable music.  The crowd spanned the generations.  The was one usher from Camden Yards and one usher from Center Stage.  There were also several members of the blind community, including a lector who read braille. For my amusement, there is a red digital clock on the back wall.  Mass started at 6:02.  The homily was 7 minutes long. Mass ended at 6:54.  See, mass with music can be less than one hour.  I'm just going to go ahead and say it, I like this one.  

People have asked what I am looking for, but besides my gimmicky way of getting into the habit of going to church, I'm not still not sure.  Every church is a little bit different.   Most have been okay, and every once and a while, I stumble across something interesting.  

Yesterday was Saint Charles Borromeo.  Next weekend I'm thinking of something on Saturday.
