Still behind. So much for blog blast part deux. September 16's church was Corpus Christi. The summer scheduled had ended, so it was mass at 10:30. The church is white with two columns of pews, 52 in total. (They are numbered; I didn't even have to count.) It's often open during Artscape, so if you go, you should look inside and check out the cool mosaics.
We were greeted by an enthusiastic and happy usher. We were a little early, but the church filled up by the end of the gathering hymn. I would peg the group sitting behind me as former religious, but I can't be sure. They spent a long time talking about sitting in the back of the church. (See, I told you. Everyone knows good Catholics sit in the back.) They also used plenty of gender neutral language.
There was good music and I wanted to go outside and see if you can hear it from the street. I didn't. In categories of churches, it falls under churches with endless signs of peace. The priest even made it back to row 52.
And then there were two. I keep checking the count, but somehow that's right. The last two come during busy weekends, but I'm hoping for the best. In case you can't stand a cliffhanger, the penultimate church was Saint Vincent de Paul.
