A Rochester reader has alerted me to the fact that the irony of ironies is unfolding at St. Anne Church. It always seems as if there’s something there to keep our interest. While she was unable to snap a photo of what’s going on, I think that her words will be just as illuminating and entertaining:

“Well, it turns out that our pillars in front of the church have started to decompose over the past few years. It got really bad recently when it was seen that there were several inches of separation between the ceiling and the pillars. I don’t need to tell you that that’s a pretty serious thing. We all had a bit of a laugh about it because the pillars of the church are crumbling, sort of like how all the pillars of the community and the parish left. Sometimes I think that I should go back, after all I live just three blocks away. But I always say no. The only time I go back is when they have the auction. I’ve always admired the organ, so maybe I could get a couple pipes? Lord knows I deserve it!”

Is this any surprise?

On a related note, my informant also notified me of a sudden sanctuary appointment which is prominently placed in front of the processional crucifix. Here is the original:

Here is the anticipated reality:
