The blognic is underway! We started later because Mass at Old St Patrick’s started late and went long. Coffee is hot and strong.

About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

This REALLY helps! And it’s great coffee (and tea)
I use this when I travel both in these USA and abroad. Very useful. Fast enough for Zoom. I connect my DMR (ham radio) through it. If you use my link, they give me more data. A GREAT back up.

PLEASE subscribe via PayPal if it is useful. Zelle and Wise are better, but PayPal is convenient.
A monthly subscription donation means I have steady income I can plan on. I put you my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I often say Holy Mass.
In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?
For a one time donation...

If you travel internationally, this is a super useful gizmo for your mobile internet data. I use one. If you get one through my link, I get data rewards.

But Father, but Father…
Now I really am getting jealous. ;)
Swing through Iowa if you get a chance one of these days.
Nice! I’m in.
Gordon Biersch Brewery in the P & L District Downtown might be a good venue. Or perhaps the new giant “Irish Pub” Ragland Road. Both are a short walk from the Cathedral Hall where the post-consecration reception is to be held. Just a couple suggestions.
Fr. I hope to see you then as well
Maybe get another photo with you for the ole’ facebook
See you tomorrow
Actually, I could talk to the owner of the Quaff, he is a member of the Cathedral’s Knights of Columbus Council (14489) and I bet he would be happy to host us somewhere in his place.
I am sure the organizers have it all in control, but I am here to help if needed.
I hope its on a day I can make it.
California could use a lift via a visit from you, I truly am starting to get blognic-envy…just something else I get to offer up I suppose!
I agree with Terri, we could use a lift out here in Ca. I’m in one of the few places of Liturgical orthodoxy….but the visit is for all else who suffer here in Ca.
Father, when the plans are set please post them as soon as you can. I live in Wichita and may be able to make it up there depending on what day it is.
Not all of us are so fortunate as to get tickets to the St Pat rededication so we will appreciate seeing you all the more.
I like the Irish Pub idea, in honor of the Oratory’s patron.
Come To Sacramento, geat group at St. stephen’s FSSP parish, where Father John Berg had his first parish!!!
I’ll try to make it – any info on a rough date/time so I can try to be free?
Come To Sacramento, geat group at St. stephen’s FSSP parish
A Geat group? Is their preist Father Hygelac?
It would be great to meet you when you come to town. I look forward to the details.
Now I wish I could have made plans to go there for the consecration, all to see Fr. Z in person. Gorgeous church. Bishop Finn has ties to st. louis too, so his actions dont go unnoticed, particularly by the more “conservative” crowd as people like to call us.
I hope to get there soon, maybe for the feast day of its patron, who of course is my own. Cant think of a better thing to do on St. Patrick’s day!
all: mass started 20 minutes late and was very long. I am obviously late for the blognic.
Fr. Z – I forgot to ask a question at the gathering today: what do you think of the rumors that B16 might raise the retirement age for bishops from 75 to 78?
It was nice to meet you at the blognic today, Father. And nice to meet everyone else as well!
Yes, it was great to meet everyone. Wish I could’ve hung out longer!
Hey David Cheney,
This is Rich, one of your old roomies at SJV. Great to see your photo here in Z-ville.
Howdy Rich!
Great to hear from you – how’s the teeth biz? Is SJV still around?
