Apparently Aquinas now has Mass every month? Thankfully, Mass today was uneventful. And this was beautiful. Fr. McKenna from the Cathedral celebrated Mass, and aside from the usual things which are typical of Mass-in-a-gym, it was really reverent.
There were no liturgical dancers and the music wasn’t obnoxious. The choir sounded phenomenal (as usual) and there was no inappropriate applause. The homily was very good and appropriate, and Father talked a lot about being thankful for his blessings.
So: Thank you, God, for a normal Mass at AQ. Thank you for reverence and piety. Thank you for beautiful music. Thank you for Catholic schools. And thank you for your Son, who is wholly present to us in the Mass. Amen.

Back in the day AQ had First Friday Masses whenever school was in session on a First Friday, along with a few others scattered throughout the year. Of course the building was full of priests then, so finding someone to say Mass was never an issue. It’s nice to see they’re trying to get back to that. It’s also nice to see that the liturgical dancers took a day off.
