The first time did not go so well. We spent the whole time in the cry room, missed the first 25% changing diapers & then couldn't hear anything because the priest wasn't mic'd. I also had forgotten to eat breakfast before leaving so nibbled on crackers in the van and then wasn't able to go to Communion so it seemed like a total loss. However, the new priest was able to offer a first blessing (because it is within a year of his ordination) after Mass and we did receive that at least! The second time the Mass was in our new chapel (about the size of the Church in Dwight, fyi) on the Church grounds. Livy was at VBS so there was one less to keep quiet. We did okay, stayed for the whole thing and weren't too disruptive (I hope). However, it would've been nice to be able to follow along in the book to appreciate more what was taking place but I didn't have that luxury. At this point, my opinion is that the Latin rite is a beautiful Mass and there is much richness & tradition in it that I would like to understand & appreciate better. For practical purposes, though, it is much easier for me to attend a Mass in English that I know & can appreciate even if I am only able to give it partial attention because of the girls.

I've always been curious but haven't had the guts to attend one yet, fearing that I would mess up somehow. How did it go?

If you attend one of Fr. Stinson's Masses (I've actually known Michael since before he entered the seminary), bring a few dollars donation and take home the paper missal you'll receive. It will explain the Catholic Liturgy to an amazing depth. My friends and I will be at St. William's on Friday at 10 a.m. Try this link:
