An Anonymous Letter and a Promise of Prayers from Louisville

Pastoral administrator and "parish assembly" at
St. William of York in Louisville

I wrote a letter awhile back to a so-called Catholic parish in Louisville that is so far out in la-la land it would be hard to find it on a lunacy map. When I say I wrote the letter "awhile back" I admit it's so far back, I can't remember, and unfortunately I forgot to date it. But I got a copy of it in the mail yesterday with an anonymous note on the back that made me laugh. Since the letter is online I can't be sure it came from someone at the parish, but it was, in fact, postmarked from Louisville so it's likely. Nice to know somebody was paying attention.

We're Introducing a New Page: Good Church, Bad Church

Do you travel? Do you take potluck when you choose a Mass in an unfamiliar area? Well, we've been there and done that and it can land you at some real stinkers. At one church in Hampton Roads, VA my husband and I didn't go to Communion because we both doubted the validity of the Mass and we weren't sure how we could receive the ginger-bread looking cubes on the tongue.

So, as I was consulting with Susan, we decided we'd start a page with information about parishes in the places we live and visit.
