First Consecrated

Two important things, and one that’s silly:

  1. This was the first Roman Catholic church consecrated in the state of Washington;
  2. When I was there, a little sign on the door said the place had just been varnished and the doors were locked for another couple of days; and
  3. That little puff of dust is from a passing car, a car which for no reason at all I assumed was full of nuns.

Holy Water

Worship in the Time of COVID is not nearly as catchy a title as Love in the Time of Cholera.

And anyway, hand sanitizer as a narrative is really, really boring.
