i love the flurry of altar boys. they look so graceful and serene. and my what an altar you guys have! if you could see our tiny little chapels over here, they look like catacombs compared to yours. it would mean so much to me for us to have a "parish" like that someday. but i just don't see it happening here. so sad.
It wasa a sepcial day for this mom and certainly for my husband to have his son beside him.
Regan - I see photos of TLM altars that are such eye candy and always wish our church was like that as it's just beginning to grow here. Thank you for the reminder that I should be thankful for what I DO have.
Shelly....busted.
It's me taking the pictures. I am blessed to have a silent shutter option on my camera. It's noiseless. It also takes photos in almost NO light...so no flash needed. Very unintrusive and spy-like....
The historian in me who likes to see things saved for posterity thought that it was important to have images of the beauty of the Latin Mass. Thankfully, my priests agree.
I hide up in the choir loft where no one knows what I am doing. ;)
ah! thank you for 'splainin' :) and i forgot to add: i LOVE the third photo!
and regan, love your comment. it really is a beautiful sight.
the 2 Sundays previous to this one we had NOT A ONE altar boy [or altar server]... sad. an elderly gentleman took on the duty those back to back Sundays. I'm a big stickler for BOYS only on the serving front. There is a beauty in that - a vocation in the making, perhaps.
I can't believe I missed it! So beautiful...and moving. The picture of a lifetime...a husband and 14-year old son serving at the foot of the cross. So lovely!
WELCOME TO THIS PHOTO - JOURNAL celebrating the traditional, Roman Catholic faith ... in words and images. I believe that Catholicism & The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass are the GOOD, the TRUE and the BEAUTIFUL in this life. With my camera and my words, what better f o c u s could I share on this blog? The first post appeared in May of 2007, when I started homeschooling my 4. In 2011, this blog was the reason we traveled to Rome, to participate in the VATICAN BLOGGERS MEETING, where my goal to promote Catholic social media began. Today, 2 of my homeschoolers have graduated and study at/graduated from Franciscan University of Steubenville. It is so encouraging to have this online community, to know you are out there and to share what we learn with each other. May we do so, AMDG, for the glory of God and all for Jesus, Mary & Joseph. Totus Tuus! +JMJ+

anyway. LOVE the boys/men serving! LOL
You should be a proud mama and wife. You are also very blessed.
I wish I had a cool spy camera!! Sounds neat-o!
Really beautiful pictures Allison! These would look great in some sort of framed collage.
