A Proliferation of Priests, and Playing of a Piano

It seems the number of clergy at St. Bartholomew's has been growing, somewhat unnoticed by the congregation who are only aware of Fr. Daniel and Deacon Ed.

The latest appears to be "Father Canticle," as I noted here last Saturday. But even prior to "Father Canticle" we had another, as noted on the sign below and in a recent newsletter:

Yes, it's the Irish priest Father Pint O'Guinness (no doubt named "Pint" because he's short, so much unlike Fr. Daniel).

The piano? Recently moved from the Boeschotens' to the Parish Hall, apparently because it wasn't getting any use. It is now; just a couple of Sundays ago we heard somebody playing it (and well! Ruby??) during Mass. I don't know if the stairwell door was open or the sound was coming up through the ventilation ducts, but it was a little distracting. Hm, if I remember right that was the Sunday the Boeschotens were celebrating their wedding anniversary.

You can see it in the blog posting of our patronal festival.
