Father's Day 2008

St. Monica's Parish Church does this really nice thing on Mother's Day and Father's Day. During the Offertory of the Mass, the priest invites mothers (on Mother's Day) and fathers (on Father's Day) to surround the altar. They are given flowers as well, and the community says a special prayer and blesses for them. It's a nice touch. Today's 9:30 a.m. Mass was standing room only. This 9:30 Mass is usually attended by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maria Shriver and their family.

On another matter, my online class (Essential Beginnings in Creative Writing, UCLA Extension) ended last week. It was a particularly good class. There was a lot of talent and the participants bonded nicely. It was nice to see them develop dramatically in six weeks.

All for now,
Cecilia
