Reader Thomas Tucker…

…whom I had the pleasure of meeting (along with his lovely wife) in our Summer Adventure in Wenatchee writes about his visit to Seattle and our parish on Sunday:

Melanie and I went to church at Blessed Sacrament yesterday.
Wow! What a beautiful, holy, and powerful liturgy. The music was fantastic and the whole experience was the Mass as it should be, including the solid preaching. Looking through the bulletin, I am awed by how many things are going on in the parish. Holy cow, I almost want to move to Seattle so I can go there!
One question- I’m assuming that the interior brick used to be covered. When was that removed and why?
btw, also saw your son and granddaughter leaving after the 10:30 Mass.
That girl is too too cute.

What can I say? He’s right. I love our parish and our kids. And the Cuteness is resplendent in cutitude. Life is good, thanks be to God.

Sorry I missed you, Tom. We hit the 9:00 Mass and I had a lovely Sunday nap, followed by lovely Sunday company. Hope you come back!

Re: the brick interior. As far as I know, it’s always been that way.

Here’s a shot of the interior:

I wish you could have been here for Christmas. Gorgeous!
