Maybe held at St. Seb or St. B because they are larger. We could invite other parishes as well. I bet the K of C would serve as an honor guard if requested. Maybe Bishop Perez would even come!<br /><br />And perhaps an organ/choir concert beforehand, perhaps 20-30 minutes before Mass starts? The St. Sebastian and St. Bernard organs are especially fine. The parish choirs are also wonderful (and St. Bernard has a really super schola choir - my husband sings with them!)<br /><br />And then a cluster dinner. It's been a long time, but when we have a parish dinner at St. Bernard, the parish arranges for the meat (roast beef, chicken, etc.), and everyone brings a side according to the initial of their last name (A-L vegetable, M-Z dessert), enough to serve 8-10. (*If it is in summer, we could have a picnic.)<br /><br />The Spanish children at St. Bernard might be able to perform their ethnic dancing, after the meal, that they do on Our Lady of Guadalupe day. They are lovely - particularly my Goddaughter!<br /><br />It doesn't have to be fancy. It will be wonderful to pray and eat together, and to get to know one another.<br /><br />My husband and I would be delighted to assist in any way. You know me - your Tuesday afternoon office volunteer, and you may remember my husband from the K of C.<br /><br />We could really use a party and an excuse to get the parishes together!<br /><br />God bless and protect everyone at St. Sebastian - Sue, ofsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
