Update
Has it truly been over three years since I last blogged here? Indeed it has. I have been teaching a sixth-grade religious education class at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Covina for over a year now. I also serve as a lector and Eucharistic minister (yes, I know that "extraordinary minister of Holy Communion" is the correct way to describe a layperson who distributes the Eucharist at Mass, but just about everyone refers to a layperson who fulfills this ministry as a "Eucharistic minister", so that is what I use).
What else have I been doing? I still go to St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Ontario for the Portuguese Mass once a month: otherwise, what social life I have revolves around Sacred Heart parish and the Mystical Rose Lay Carmelite community at St. John the Baptist in Baldwin Park. It is a quiet life, but it is not bad, on the whole.
