143/365 Full of Grace

This past weekend was Pentecost. I don't know all the details, but Fr. Miguel mentioned in a twitter post that our parish witnessed/celebrated 6 of the 7 sacraments this weekend:

Saturday morning, we had a funeral for a member of the parish who actually joined the Church (became a Catholic, I mean, not just joined our parish) just 2 years ago.

Saturday afternoon, there was a wedding.

Every Saturday before the vigil mass Fr. Miguel hears confessions.

Mass was celebrated three times and many people received the Eucharist.

On Sunday morning, we baptized Ursula and James' son, who, by the way, is one of the cutest babies on the planet. And I say that as a mother of a darned cute baby. My goodness.

Also at Sunday mass, Joel was confirmed and welcomed into our community.

According to Sr. Hildegard, sometime that weekend Fr. Miguel gave the blessing of the sick to someone, but I don't know the details on that one.

So we didn't ordain anyone. But just a few weeks ago our deacon became a Dominican priest.

We are immersed in grace.
