Talking Again

I spent last evening at St. Patrick's Church in Colton, where I was invited to give a talk on Vatican II's Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy as part of their adult faith formation series for the fall.  This was essentially the same talk I gave at a diocesan workshop marking the 50th anniversary of the Second Vatican Council and the end of the Year of Faith (see here and/or here).  You know it's quite a  compliment to a cook to ask for a second helping of what's being served; likewise, it's quite a compliment to a speaker to ask him to give the very same presentation all over again!  Deep thanks to my hosts for the kind invitation (along with a really wonderful meal beforehand), and to the fine group of folks from the parishes in Potsdam and Colton who came out on a "dark and stormy night" to listen, discuss, and ask questions.
