Today’s our Latin Mass day. Typically we go to Mass at noon, and then we stay at church all day, because there’s Holy Hour at six, and friends of ours who drive an hour to Mass don’t bother to go home in between services. They bring picnic lunches and schoolwork and make a day of it, so although we live only four miles from the church, we do the same. As a result, my blogging contributions on Thursdays tend to be light.
I haven’t forgotten I&C Church Challenge, however. The Millinerd has contributed some images, and I’ll post the links in an update to the original post as soon as I have time. In the meanwhile, if you’ve got a North American church of interest to share with us, leave a link in the comments to the original post. Eventually, when we’ve collected enough images, we’ll post a gallery of churches, pretty, ugly, and otherwise noteworthy.
So don’t touch that dial . . .
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
Make your Fall Campaign gift now using the button below.
If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact Giovanni Del Piero, Director of the Editor’s Circle, at gdelpiero@firstthings.com or 212-627-1985.
