I can say this with absolute certainty because Emily and I are in the same parish. ;-)<br/><br/>I find that the language issue isn't so bad for me; what gets me down is the ethno-centrism of some of the parish members, and the new priest should go some considerable way towards countering that. The day he said some of the liturgical prayers in his *own* native language was unforgettable! I hope he does more of that! The new priest *is* wonderful.

Sometimes, I feel the same way you feel about community at church, and I have to admit that if it weren't for OC, I'd be very spiritually lonely at times. It's one of the reasons I'm pushing so hard to make the retreat a reality. I really crave the chance to meet you all! This is worded beautifully and thoughtfully.
