A night on The Hill...

Tonight was my first on "The Hill"...

Mass at 7:30 pm; a group of pilgrims who showed up just as Mass ended--they were Spanish teachers, from all over the country, in town for a meeting, and they'd walked up to Immaculata from downtown! We talked a bit after Mass, and they took lots of pictures of our beautiful church.

After Mass, I walked over to...well--I'd rather not say, so I don't play favorites. But I walked over to one of the places on The Hill, to get something cold to drink, and something to eat. The fellow behind the bar, it turns out, played baseball in college; so we talked a bit about the Reds.

The Reds won! You can definitely hear the fireworks up here. It was a lot of fun watching all our guys come up to bat and hit home runs, one after another.

Fr. Fox- I popped over to the Holy Cross-Immaculata web page and took a peek. From a cursory glance at the activities and events in the bulletin, I can see that you've had to hit the ground running. You remain in my prayers, (with continued petitions for your success in celebrating the Mass in the Extraordinary Form.) ~ Rosemary A.

If you're heading out within walking distance of Immaculata, check out the bar at The Celestial (it might be called the Incline Lounge). The atmosphere is great, and some weekends my brothers and some friends play the lounge. Their band is called Easter Rising; they're quite good with the Irish music and covers.
