This event was of course, to mark Doris Day’s birthday, a feast which is unmoveable, even in Lent. Sing along now. Kudos to Fr Kirstin for alerting us.

    Here or there, that is the liturgical question. High altar or altar amongst us? Do you dress the altar you are using, or the altar you used to use? Do you light candles up there or down here?
