An extremely special place

My wife and I returned this year especially to do Holy Week - called the trip Pilgrimage to Paradise

The acoustics are amazing. There are three or four ladies that seem to run the church but my do they have voices. It is a mission so the priest come from STT or they are visiting from the states.

You know most the of the time when you go on vacation - church really does not seem that important in the big scheme of things - lets just get away from the routine.

OLMC is just the opposite - I look forward to it as part of the vacation. Easter was a 2 1/2 hour experience that I will never forget.

Here is our trip report : Pilgrimage to Paradise

If you need folks to sit on the groom or the bride's side let me know I would be more than happy to attend 😉

Congratulations!

I remember being down for Ash Wednesday and driving by the priest was out next to the road giving ashes to any one who wanted so I stuck my head out and got my blessing. I told my mom that I had got ashes while on Vaca she was impressed never told her that I stuck my head out the window of a jeep and I had a beer in one hand.LOL
