I'm exhausted just READING your schedule.
Sure will be glad to see it read:
August: Masses every Sunday at St. Edwards
September: same except for one Retrouvaille weekend.
October: same except for International Retrouvaille Conference.
November: same except for one Retrouvaille weekend, etc. etc.
hope there is room in there for the Solemnity of the Precious Blood (July 1 or transferred to Sunday July 4) cleared off the universal calendar in the changes with Vatican II, when the blood got reunited with the body on the Thursday or Sunday after Trinity, but on the Missionaries' calendar still.
gives me something in which to hope on July 4!
then there's August 15, which is on a Sunday this year, the day which St. Gaspar chose to found Father Jeff's community in 1815
and the feast of St. Gaspar on October 21, which may be transferred to a Sunday at communities served by the Missionaries.
