Ember Days

This is something new and nifty - I could put this link on my blog from Air Maria - no copying addresses, opening my own blog, etc., etc.
So why not go and read up on the Ember Days? I miss them. We live in a world without seasons - or at least we imagine that we do.
This is one of my favorite feasts because I love a parade! And I love St. Thomas Aquinas as well.
And this year I'm happy to announce that the St. Augustine Schola Cantorae will be there. We've only been together a short time, but we're intrepid. The Schola will be assisting the Cathedral-Basilica of St. Augustine's music ministry with chants during the 11 a.m. Mass. After this Mass, there will be a Eucharistic procession (and yes, we'll be there as well) around the historic plaza in St. Augustine, followed by Adoration until 5 p.m. And then Benediction.
Over in the Bishop Baker Center from 1 to 5 pm, there will also be a photo exhibit from the Vatican about Eucharistic miracles.
What a wonderful way to spend part of your Memorial Day weekend! If you're anywhere near, please come. If you're not, please pray for us.
