Saint Thomas is a small brick church that faces away from the street. Inside, there are two columns of pews and stained glass windows. The crowd was small and mostly older couples. I was expecting more young adults and young families, but I am getting used to surprises.
We were instantly outed as newcomers. Fortunately, Father Silvester refrained from acknowledging us during mass. I hate that.
He spoke of choosing joy and finding happiness. The homily was fun and fulfilling, but I could tell that about half the crowd wasn't digging it at all. It ran a little on the long side. We were pushing through the readings and were on to the homily by 9:15. That's okay, I was back in the car at 10.
In case you are interested, Bingo is on September 7.
