Priest, parishioners provide accordion accompaniment for Polka Mass

Priest, parishioners provide accordion accompaniment for Polka Mass

I recently purchased a laptop to become more mobile for seminars and retreats. I started to make my 'favorites' list, so that I could pull information up to use more quickly. As I added the Catholic Chronicle's website, I ran some names through to catch up with what people were doing. Typing in Father Kent's name brought up the above article. I noticed that the article could be shared, and also saw that the article could be delivered to the blog. I added it to the blog to see how that process worked (I am SUCH a novice!).

Years ago we started this blog as a way to communicate more effectively since any oral conversations questioning the consolidation seemed to be viewed as treason. For the last year or so it has become apparent that our initial group of readers are in no need of a way to 'vent' as much as we maybe now need another way to share our growth. Several ideas are being pursued to change our format. Sharing articles will be one way to foster growth and community effectively. I guess the 'rest of the story', is I only brought up Father Kent's name to the blog as part of my learning experience. Someone emailed me to question whether or not I would be going to that accordian mass/ festival this summer to check up on Father. I think that she read to much into my motive for putting the article in the blog. (Although I admit that I have probably had enough priors to warrant a such a conviction!) Actually I think it would be interesting to see such a mass and I am sure the food and fun would be grand at the festival. Come to think of it, I might go.......

So for now, you have 'the rest of the story.' Stay tuned.
