Our church. One of the things that we've talked about missing the most about Colorado is our church. St. Mary's in Eagle, CO. It's such a quaint little church that's overflowing with parishioners every Sunday. Never any empty seats. Compare that to where we are moving, and each of the 3 churches we could go to are huge, with open seats at most masses. It's going to be a bit of culture shock for sure.
But what really makes a church special is the pastor. We have known Father Bob for 5 years now. We knew upon meeting him that he was special. He does a phenomenal job of keeping traditions yet at the same time not being afraid to step outside the "boundaries" to make people feel special. He really made masses enjoyable for us. I'm sure a good pastor at our next parish will go a long way toward helping us transition to the larger congregations.
Next week we will be celebrating mass in a new church...
